SYMPTOMS

When you use the Windows NT simple TCP/IP services to view the "Quote of the Day", the following event appears in the System Log (as seen with the Event Viewer):

Event ID: 10
Source: SIMPTCP
Type: Error
Description: The simple TCP/IP service could not find the UDP QOTD Port. The UDP QOTD service is not started.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem:

Open the SERVICES file in the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC directory using a text editor, such as Notepad.

Ensure the following entry exists in the SERVICES file:

   qotd               17/tcp    quote
   qotd               17/udp    quote

NOTE: The entry in the SERVICES file uses the following format:

<service name> <port number>/ <protocol> [aliases...] [#<comment>]
