Windows 2003 Server, cannot create TCP/UDP Sockets

[demonic]

Just installed a server, but cant create tcp/udp sockets.

Can ping dns and ip addresses fine. But when launching a browser, or utorrent or emule nothing works.

Emule says error trying to use a socket that doesnt exist or cannot create a server udp socket.

Anyone have an idea? A service or something borked?

2k3 server is pretty well locked down initially, you probably need to enable the relevant services.

thats the thing, dont know which service to install.

It was working perfectly before, but then did a clean build cos i put in a new mobo and proc.

just installed winxp virtual machine and its fine, now will try another windows 2003 ee. if that works, somewhere along the line, i did a mistake with the others.

ignore lol.

I just reapplied SP1 and seems to have fixed things. I have no idea what happened there!

Just curious, did u check the event viewer when it wasn't working ?

 

[demonic]

yes. event viewer was the first thing I had checked. No services had problems starting up. It was a fresh install of the virtual server. Couldnt understand why apps wouldnt work, but the internet was accessable via ping, tracert, etc...

as I say, doesnt matter now. Will just have reapply the service packs to the other virtual machines and im golden!
