Has anyone ever seen a problem like this. For no reason and with no event these services just stop. can happen 5 to 20 times a day. All patches have been applied. Worked fine for years till about 3 weeks ago. Scaned for viruses, and none show up. Contacted norton and they don't know of a virusthat can do this. Nic's are in working order.

Sure sounds like the "Red Code" WORM to me. We had it bad in July. Had to rebuild a couple of web sites before microsoft issued the patch to close the Backdoor in Index Server, a part of the IIS4 system.

If you have not downloaded and installed this latest patch, them your wide open for it as well as the new Red Code 2 WORM.

Goto to:

Lots of Luck, it's a bad one

I tried this and it didn't change the situation. I also tried disconnecting from the internet when installing per article I read that said that red can come in with the patch. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same problem some time ago. I put NT SP6 and Proxy Server SP1(http://www.microsoft.com/proxy/downloads/DLServicePack1.asp) on but still would have to restart the service many times through out the day. We found that we were running the eval version of Proxy Server that had been activated as a licensed copy. I reinstalled proxy server(from cd) on top of the existing, applied the service pack and have not had any problems since.

We are experiencing the same issue. However, we have not installed Proxy 2 SP1. That will happen tonight. If this corrects our stopping issue, I'll repost.

Update!
Installed Proxy Server Service Pack 1 and then reran NT4SP6a service pack. Proxy kept stopping intermittently. I had found an update to 6a at www.microsoft.com/ntserver. It's an 18mb file. Applied and the Proxy Server has been running since the server rebooted. Hope this helps. Look for Q299444i.exe. Reference document is Q299444.
