Missing port types : local port and Standard TCP/IP port

Hi Guys ,

I work in a small office as the in house programmer , but I am expected
to support a the network as well.

The boss's computer does not have port types " local port" and
"Standard TCP/IP port" under files > server properties > ports > add
new port > port types.


I do not want to re-install Windows XP. And by the way , he did delete
the port types ( reasons best known to the man himself)


Please be generous and respond to this post , I am in a bind .

thanks
kpt

Hi,

if you have netsupport manager (remoting software) installed,
uninstall it and try again.
If not check settings at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
I have here multiple entries. For "local port", Driver=localspl.dll
and one for "Standard TCP/IP Port", Driver = tcpmon.dll . Perhaps the
dlls cannot be loaded. You can detect the dependencies with depends.exe
from microsoft. For tcpmon.dll these are msvcrt.dll, ws2_32.dll and
spoolss.dll and the standard dlls. (msvcrt.dll could be a candidate).
For localspl.dll you can download a debug-version from my homepage,
which gives debug output in dbgview from sysinternals. It is renamed
to ddklocalmon.dll (search for it it google newsgroup)

Good luck

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

The tip you gave allowed my printer installer to add my printer and
create enteries for various ports.

thanks for the advise. I contacted Microsoft support before you
responded and they are yet to get back to me.

Once I get the official method , I shall post it here.

thanks
