Re: cipe on Win2K

Hello Margaret,

I'm nore sure if this is your problem, but I'll include this observation
on the off chance it may help you:

I just configured (with help from this list) several Win2k laptops for a
customer with Cipe and had a similar issue. Try a 'netstat -an' command.
This should show a list of all the appropriated ports being used by
TCP/IP and UDP. Do your Cipe ports show up there? If so, you won't be
able to start Cipe as Win2k sees the ports as being in use. This
typically happens due to some error in shuting down cipsrvr (or at least
it did to me initially). I was able to get round it by either 'cipsrvr
stop' and then trying again or simply restarting the computer to free
everything up. I don't have a Win2k machine handy to recall if the error
message that I got was the same as your or not so, again, I'm not sure
this will help.

My best shot, hope it shakes something loose,

Mike
