Cannot view SQL Server logs

Just installed SQL2005 on a clustered Windows server. Trying to view
the SQL Server logs from my client machine, but receive the following:

Everything else in the Management Studio works fine. Can anyone
interpret this?I can't interpret or solve, but I can confirm that it also happens on our
clusters.

some reason it was trying to direct me to the virtual servername used
by the Data Group of the cluster. I don't know why it would do that.
I created an alias for the data group name, and pointed it to the ip
address of the sql server instance, and it connects properly now.
Not sure if I explained this right, I'm kinda new to clusters, but
hopefully this will help you.
