I'm having pretty much the same problem as described below with win2k. A fresh install of XP and I can't get the internet connection to work. On reboot ipconfig returns values of 0.0.0.0 and the status of the network reads that it is sending data but not receiving any packets.
clicking the repair option on the network connection returns the same error as well.
And it's not the network card as a pcmcia network card behaves in exactly the same way.
Of course msdn doesn't admit that this is an error that ipconfig can give.
Any ideas?

O.K. I figure it's definately some hardware has just decided to break for no apparent reason. As Windows XP Prof, Home, Win2k and Suse 8 all fail to obtain an ip address for the network card.
[edit]
Strangely enough it's only linux that refuses to start because of the problem. No blue screen of death but there's a definate hanging situation going on.

I haven't been able to connect to CP all morning. Pinging works great - resolves the address correctly. Tracert also works, using the domain name, not the address, and correctly returns the IP. I tried all three of my ISP's DNS servers using nslookup, and all return www.codeproject.com.mydomain.com along with my own IP address. I used Ping to enumerate all of the individual servers I know of at CP, and used the address of Web2 just to get here and post this question! Even navigating using the CP base IP address returns "DNS Error or Cannot Find Server" - sheesh! Oddly, this happens only for CP - every other site I visit works perfectly. Any ideas or explanations?

I'm having the same problem. I am currently bypassing it by using my univerisities proxy server which is a pain for various reasons.

1 year ago I did dual boot install for Windows NT 4 SP 5 and Windows XP Pro on 2 different partitions C & D
This worked fine for about 1 year, I did GHOST backups of the partitions & re-installed from ghost images a few times
all works fine !!!
then about 1 month ago I added USB PCI card & had to do some WXP hardware install crap
and now I get goofy error messages from NT AUTHORITY (or something) saying bug in RPC, system shutdown in 60 seconds
this is modeless popup & yes system does shut down !!!
i rebooted
then I noticed a new proc MSBLAST.EXE in task-mgr, found 2 new files in WINNT\SYSTEM32
MSBLAST.EXE
and some DBL file (I'm on NT now & can't see the FAT32 drive for WXP)
and then rebooting WXP asked me to "register" my OS because it changed
NOW THE DAMN THING KEEPS REBOOTING BECAUSE OF THIS MSBLAST/RPC failure crap !!!
Is is a virus or just of bug in MS auto-check anti-virus stuff ?
I know MS has some security that checks HW config, but I re-registered & this still happening.
Even after I reinstalled clean images from GHOST....
It's like the MS security code is working well enough to detect my HW changes, but then it craps out & prevents WXP from running
I tried GOOGLE MSDN CP for MSBLAST but no luck......
any ideas besides re-installing everything from scratch ??

Weird, I read your post earlier and wasn't able to respond (short of googling the 'net, which you claim to have done), and lo and behold my ISP just sent out an email about Win32.Blaster.Worm, which more info at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html
. Hope that helps!

I think that's it !! Now I wonder how it got onto my PC ??
To fix it so far, I yanked my USB PCI card & re-installed from ghost images. Maybe the USB PCI install did something funny.....
Thanks again !!

This is a worm, so either it was in the driver software (VERY unlikely) or it came through something attached to the USB hub, like a USB NIC. Do you have something like that? This is a problem especially if you're on an ISP such as DSL or cable modem where a great majority of the users shouldn't even own a computer and are wide open for attack.

I am also having the same problem. Did u manage to solve it? I tried deleting those files related to msblast and i am awaiting to see if the problem is still there.

It is a worm. See Heath Stewart's post above, and the "Port 135" thread in the lounge.

deleting the files did not work for me, I had to then "re-register" my PC at microsoft-central....
definitely causes my Windows XP Pro to crash tho, here's some links I got from my ISP & microsoft
//securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html
//www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp
I downloaded the security fix for this RPC bug & will try it shortly, only about 1.3mb size
and it doesn't seem to zap my NT4 SP5 system, which I'm using now & for some reason CP doesn't have the clickety links for IE4.0 ??

Hmm, my dads computer started doing this a few days ago. I would have never guessed it. I'm searching the HD for msblast. But its weird I am having problems with it reading a the Windows CD, could be virus and coincidental hardware failure

Was it WPA.DBL? This file stores your WinXP Activation Data. Delete this file and windows needs to be reactivated.

Hi,
I had a problem with Crystal Report version 8.5. The report was not able to export to PDF. While trying to look in to that problem I encountered some strange registry entries. The Paths are written with ? instead of :(e.g. D?\WINNT\System32\mscomctl.ocx). I can see a lot of entries like this especially under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Installer\Components. Why it is so? Any help will be appreciated.

I have a strange problem (aren't they all, before they're figured out?  ). I just clean-installed a box here with Win2kPro, and on booting up I checked to see if it got the correct IP from the router's DHCP. It hadn't. It had [edit] 169.254.55.209 (rather stupid of me, forgot to include that while writing my message  )[/edit], instead of the usual 192.168.1.2 internal address. I reinstalled the connection, protocols, everything I could think of, but nothing helped. Then out of desperation I tried disabling the LAN connection, then immediately re-enabled it. It worked, it had the right IP, default gateway, everything! So I thought my problems were solved... I restarted, checked the IP, and it was back to what it was!  I did the re-enabling rigmarole, and it picked up the right IP. It does this consistently each time I reboot. Any ideas? All welcome
[edit] I just installed SP4, and it still does the same thing  [/edit]

Hey Paul-
That is a puzzling problem, and i don't know how well this will help you, but here's a start. I know that when windows cannot find a DHCP server, and it's set to detect the IP automatically, windows sets the IP address to be in the range of 169.254.*.* (on my machine, Win2KPro as well, i ran a test where it set my IP to 169.254.66.67 when it couldn't find a DHCP server).
So, based on everything you've said, it sounds like the machine isn't trying to do a DHCP lookup once the PC starts. Check that the DHCP Client service is set to startup as soon as the PC loads. Beyond that, check with your DHCP router that it is receiving a request from the client PC. Hope this has helped some.

Paul-
I'm glad everything's working fine now Did you ever figure out what the problem was, or was it simply a NFI (network fixed itself)?

I don't think it was totally an NFI, because I'm pretty sure the computer was at fault, not the router. But it might have been an incompatibility of Win2k with the NIC (it is an el cheapo $14 NIC), that XP seems not to mind. I still don't know why though. The reason I feel the computer was at fault is before disabling/enabling the network *nothing* worked, not pinging, or anything. It just seemed to wake up after being re-enabled. Oh well, it works now

To start off I have no experience in RAID, but I am building a new server that has a built in raid controller. My first question is, can I set up a mirrored raid on a single HD and add a second one later? My second question is. Should I set it up to install the OS on a mirrored raid. Or should I set up the server storage (files etc) on a raid and install the OS on a single drive? The server storage is something I plan to add later.

The primary purpose of RAID is to protect your data in the event of a hard disk failure; even if possible, it would be pointless to set it up on a single drive. Save your pennies and buy extra drives, then do it right.
As to the system setup, I recall reading tales of woe from people who had trouble booting Windows from RAID sets. I'd install the OS on a single drive, and everything else on a RAID set, then schedule backups of the OS drive to the RAID set nightly.

Hmm, I'm not a fan of un-neccesary work. So I'll boot off of a single drive.
Thanks for the tips!
