RE: Win 2000 problems with http server

[Arno Grbac]

hanasaki,

 

You are probably not going to like what I'm about to say. I had the same problem, and some files

on the hard drive got corrupted. Instead of trying to figure out what went wrong, I just reformatted

the hard drive and Ghosted the image back onto it (it didn't take too long since I had the image on

a CD - highly recommended!). After that, all was well.

 

I don't know if you need to go as far, but the problem is not with Orion or Java. I can't

say that running any localhost firewall and java will cause this problem, but running Zone Alarm

definitely will. I would use the network setup on Win2000 to disable all IP ports except 80, or

whatever else you might need. Essentially, Win2000 has a primitive firewall built in (networking->

TCP/IP->advanced->options ..IP security and TCP/IP filtering). If you need more, I would pick

up a dedicated firewall box ($400-$500). A dedicated box will also offer you VPN, which can

be handy.

 

Good luck!

-arno

Well Zone Alarm - standard - is running. <was running>.  I totally uninstalled it but still have the same problem.  I even took out Norton antivirus - clean sweep - etc...

Any more ideas?
Are you saying that a localhost firewall + java can cause a crash?  Please explain.

I have two computers that are both experiencing the same problem.  They are both running Win 2000 Professional with jdk 1.3.0-c

Orion starts fine and seems to run ok with/without the console.  The Orion gui tools seem to run ok.

THE PROBLEM: connecting to the orion http server on port 80 causes the systems to crash and reboot.

- tried "-classic"
- tried orion 1.3.8 and 1.4

C:\>java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)
