Problem:
While trying to open a dedicated client an error is shown.
“Requested Server could not be found”
or
“Your requested host ‘server name’ could not be resolved by DNS Server”
Reason: Client CFG file has a parameter EnableFQDN set to TRUE by default. FQDN stands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. You will be able to find this parameter under [Siebel] section. If set to true your dedicated clients picks up your computer name and uses it as target address in your browser. If your computer name is “comp67.yourcompany.com”, when you open your dedicated client you will see the following address in address bar. http://comp67.yourcompany.com/start.swe Now, all the company network use proxy to open internet sites and when you open your dedicated client it uses your proxy settings and tries to find a site with comp67.yourcompany.com by contacting its DNS server. Since DNS server don’t have this address you see an error.

Solution: The simplest way to solve this problem is to set EnableFQDN parameter to FALSE which will result target address to be changed to http://localhost/start.swe
