RE: Win 2000 problems with http server

[Duffey, Kevin]

I picked up a cable/dsl router/firewall for $90 through amazon.com (I think). ITs the Linsys Cable/DSL router. It also has a version with a 10/100 4-port hub built in. It has a built in webserver for configuring the settings, including filtering ports to specific ips, etc. You can allow your internal network to all access the internet via one connection with this device, and while its not as sophisticated as some firewalls, it does quite well.

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)
