Additional Information

Significant changes have been made to the New Database Connection dialog and this issue is no longer reproducible.

Workaround

Do not name the fully qualified domain name with sde.com or modify the host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host) to not include .sde in full host name.

The localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself: 00.00.00.00 <anyname>.sde.com.

When editing the host file, use the local machine IP and any name for the domain.
