Strange behavior after Windows Update
Lockedby cricket_moon · about 18 years, 8 months ago
Updated my Windows 2000 Adv. Server last night with yesterday’s patches. But, now, when I go into my TCP/IP settings to change my ip address, it shows that the server is DHCP. I change it back to static, type everything in correctly, reboot, and take a look…the screen shows DHCP. sigh What the heck is going on? And how do I fix it?

btw,
the patches should be in add/remove programs.
You could remove them too, to bring it back in the original state before yesterday.Leopold

No not dumb. I simply misunderstood. Sorry. I did try, but it made no difference. 🙁

I recall this problem more or less,
remove the protocols tcp/ip.
(i don’t recall quite well to remove the nic too).
and reboot and reinstall them back again.Leopold

I think the socket program and the tcp/ip stack are related, sounds like a corrupted protocol.
re:the eventviewer thats strange. -

Removing TCP/IP did not help, neither did removing the NIC. Thank you, though -

Try assigning it an IP address while Offline. Reboot to see if the static IP is still there. Connect the system online if the IP setting is already there.

Good idea, but unfortunately it did not change anything.

After some additional digging around, and trying everyone’s ideas, I found that my event viewer shows no events in the right hand pane, but at the top, where the total is displayed, it shows that I have quite a few. Also, I have a socket program that refuses to load. Is this all some how related? What I have not done yet is back track on the upgrades. I am going to try that.

Is the RPC service running properly? With the display problems in Event Viewer, it makes me think it is not.
You might need to re-apply SP4 to fix this, if that is the case.
Also, are you sure there are no Blaster worm outbreaks in your network (it would explain if RPC is mangled).

Re-applying SP4 worked! Thank you so much. What bothers me is why did removing sp4 not work?
