Firends this question is related to Windown 2000. I want port 80 to be free because i want my custom application to listen on this port. But on my machine some service is listening on port 80 and i don't know which service is it. From the service control manager i stopped the "World Wide Web" service but the port 80 is still not free. When i issue " netstat /a " command from dos prompt. I find that http port is not free.
Can anyone tell me that which service listens on port 80 in Windows 2000 and how can i stop that service and so port can be released ???

Active Ports from www.ntutility.com[^] is a free tool that will identify the open ports on your machine and show you which program is using each of them. On my Win2K machine the only program running on port 80 is inetserv.exe, so you may have other problems (a trojan, perhaps). Stopping the Web Publishing service might not release the port - try stopping the default website (and everything else) in Internet Services Manager, then disabling all of the web related services in Services, then rebooting. If port 80 is still in use after that, you have something unwanted on your machine that's running without your knowledge.

Dear Roger,
I was unable to find the product "Active Ports" from the location you given i.e www.ntutility.com.

Just a question, did you reboot after stopping the WWW service?
Also, unless you are writing a web server (or another web related utility) I would not use port 80.

I've been fighting with a small network for a few weeks. It has 4 Win98 hosts and one WinMe in a peer-to-peer arrangement, with multiple shared folders distributed around the network. I've had to replace one NIC, not because it failed, but because it was consistently connecting at a low rate rather than the high rate it used to, and since it was frequently 'falling off' the net it seemed that the NIC was the most likely culprit. That seemed to clear up a problem with that particular host, but shortly after that was done, another host suddenly lost contact with the rest of the network. I've checked and rechecked everything and can't find anything wrong - all hosts have TCP/IP configured correctly and selected as the default protocol, and all have NetBEUI installed by default. If for some reason TCP/IP acts up, the NetBEUI should pick up the slack, albeit badly. NetBIOS on TCP/IP is enabled on all, too.
I've explained to the users that the order of startup is important - a host can't automatically connect to a share that isn't present on the network, so the serving hosts have to start up first. These machines are losing a connected share while in use! I can't find any reason for this behavior. Any ideas?

In a similar case like that I found it was a faulty cable that was the culprit. And the fauly cable wasn't even near the host experiencing problems. (The cable was marked with different resistance than the rest!)

That must have been really annoying! Something like 80% of network problems are caused by interconnect faults, so the cables and connectors were the first things I checked - all good. I'm thinking that there's something goofy in the Browser service, but I don't know what will fix it if that's the case; maybe setting one of the PCs to Master will help.

Did you solve this problem? Just in case I ever see something similar.

I thought so, as it was running great for a while. I swapped the switch they were using with one I had at home and the problem went away. I really wish I had some decent tools for isolating this stuff - I feel like an idiot telling them that there's no way to isolate it to one component. Sadly, I just found out that it failed again last weekend. Once again, the shares had to be remapped on each of the client machines, and I can't figure out how the heck they fall off in the first place! I hate to set one to be the master browse controller, as I never know when they'll turn a machine off. Maybe a master LMHOSTS file will help, copied on each machine.

A network sniffer that captures every packet on the network could be one possibility. I am at the moment working on a program that would store the last 2 GB into a file and report everything that is out of the normal. But this is only a work in progress like always...

That would be a big help, especially if it highlights abnormal packets rather than the user having to wade through pages of log files. Need I say, "Hurry!"?

How do you access admin shares on XP Pro? Like \\PC_2\C$\ When you do this in Windows 2000 it will ask you for username and password and you can enter something like PC_2\Administrator password but on XP this doesn't work even with file sharing enabled.

It works fine for me... What happens when you type \\PC_2 in and press enter??? Does it ask you for the username and password then???

Hello All,
Is the Windows NT/2000 GINA system the same one used by Windows XP ? If I already have a custom GINA DLL that is usable in Win NT/2K, can I use this GINA in Win XP ?
Thanks all,
Bio.

Hi!
I hope anyone can help me on this issue. I have a 16-bit application running on Windows NT server 4.0 . This application wil log the network traffic with the current time and date. However, the time that this application logged, is always 7 minutes ahead of the Windows NT Server time. And the applicaiton only update the time it logged every 7-minutes interval.
I ran this application on Windows NT Sever 4.0 before, and never had this problem. Don't know what cause it this time.
Thanks,

Is there a way to speed up the copying of files from NT 4.0 server to a W2K workstation? I've tried the reg hack on MS website but I'm not sure if I have to have the latest SP installed also. Because after installing the reg hack it still is slow.
Thanks

I have two physical drives in my Windows 2000 machine. The first one is a "basic NTFS" drive, and the second is a "dynamic NTFS" drive mapped to a particular folder on the first. This arrangement works fine until I want to delete a folder from the second drive. Removing a folder from a command prompt works as expected. If, however, I try to do the same thing from Windows Explorer, I always get a "Cannot delete <folder name="">: Access is denied. The source file may be in use." error message. I've tried everything I can think of related to permissions and security settings. I am the administrator of this machine so I wouldn't think it would be a permissions things, but stranger things have happened. Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

It's me, I'm back again with more hardware problems, though these ones aren't quite as ancient as my previous ones.
Building a computer for my wife with some old bits and pieces I got for free. I will start by listing the hardware, then my problems.
- Case with ATX power supply. PC Partners MB, AMD K6-2/450 CPU, 128MB PC-133 RAM, 10GB HDD, nVIDIA TNT2 M64 32MB video card, CD-ROM.
- Tekram S3AP-A MB with Celeron 366 CPU.
- MS-6199VA MB with Pentium III CPU.
1. Was working with a copuple of problems. Secondary IDE port worked fine while installing Windows but had errors once Windows was installed. No other software or updates applied. Couldn't get video drivers to install and work properly. Could be the video card but it was known to work in the system it came out of. So I decided to try the other MB's.
2. This board was an unknown entity so I thought I would give it a go first. Connected everything up the way it said in the manual. Power it up and the CD-ROM, FDD and HDD all get power but no POST. CPU and power supply fans work. So I assume it is crap and take it out.
3. This board was known working. Put it in and plugged all the cables in as required. Turn on and there is a brief flash of lights on the front panel and that is all. The flash only works first time you press the power button after plugging in the power cable to the power supply. CPU and power supply fans don't work. I thought I may have stuffed the power supply taking it out to get the MB in. But I plugged in the PC Partners board and everything fired up correctly.
I want 3 to be the one up and working obviously as it is the most powerful. I have no idea why the power supply doesn't even turn the fan. Any ideas as what I could try. I have a multimeter if that is required but in the 5 years or so I have owned it I have never used it. So I would need baby instructions.
I assume you are out drinking and playing darts tonight (it's Sunday afternoon here) but I will stay connected looking for your answer anyway.
PS. This is starting to piss me off. I got my hands on an old Pentium 233MMX I wanted to clean up and give to my cousin who is running his business off an even older piece of crap. This one at least took SD-RAM and I think even had USB. I fired it up before taking it home and it and it started up Windows. The CD looked shot and I couldn't get into Windows as it was 2000, I didn't have the password and the license wasn't passed on.
I took the machine apart here at home, cleaned out the 4 ton of dirt, fluff and other crap all over the insides. I took note of the front panel cable connections so I could put it back together. I didn't actually unscrew the MB as it was on a removable backing plate. After carefully cleaning it and putting it back together it doesn't reach POST. Just like in 2 above. Power gets to everything, but no ticking over of the RAM. It is AT power supply not ATX so the power button is on the power supply itself and not connected through the MB.
I'm just about ready to give up on hardware.

Are you sure you put the RAM in? If you get no POST, the most likely possibilities are (1) you didn't put the RAM in or (2) you didn't plug the speaker into the Mobo. The only other possibility I can think of is if the Mobo were to be "fried" (which it might be).
Wish I were there. I have experience with putting together PC's, both old and new (although most of the old PC's I worked on are now "laid to rest").

Yes. Known good RAM and the speaker is plugged in. MB probably is fried.

Wish you or someone else was here too.  I have pulled apart and fixed many PC's as well as building numerous from scratch. Unfortunately this one has me stuffed.

Where'd you get the hardware? You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

The 233MMX mentioned in the PS came from my wife's cousin's step-brother. All the other stuff came from one of the participants in my Work For the Dole project. He does a lot of upgrades on the side that the unemployment office doesn't know about. He didn't need or want the stuff and said 'Here you go'.
I see him again Wednesday but am some what impatient and thought 'I must be doing something obvious and stupid'. I was just hoping someone could point out what.
