| 465403 | 2006-06-23 04:51:00 | I use my own laptop (running XP Pro, SP2) for business - during the day it is connected to the LAN at work, not as an explicit domain connection (I am logged in as "me" not as "BUSINESSNAME\user"), but I am able to 'see' and use the shared directories on the network. At the end of the day, I either unplug the network cable and put the machine into Hibernation, or just put it into Hibernation and then unplug. When I get home I fire it up again (unconnected to any network, other than my ISP - Woosh) and happily use the machine in this state. However, after a certain amount of time (undetermined - not consistent), the laptop just freezes - nothing to do other than hit the off button and restart it. Once this is done, I have no further problems until I reconnect and disconnect the following day. The Event Viewer displays an error relating to the SNMP service: Event Type: Warning Event Source: SNMP Event Category: None Event ID: 1101 Date: 22/06/2006 Time: 7:01:07 p.m. User: N/A Computer: JOHN-TOSH Description: The SNMP Service is ignoring extension agent key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IPXMibAgent\CurrentVersion because it is missing or misconfigured. For more information, see Help and Support Center at go.microsoft.com Data: 0000: 02 00 00 00 .... This entry in the event log appears to be consistently the last one prior to my switching off the laptop, so I am assuming there is an issue somewhere here. Can anyone tell me what is misconfigured? Registry values for the relevant path are: (Default) - REG_SZ - (value not set) 0 - REG_SZ - Software\Microsoft\W3SVC\CurrentVersion 1 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LANManagerMIB2Agent\CurrentVers ion 2 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RFC1156Agent\CurrentVersion 3 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HostMIB\CurrentVersion 4 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNMPMIB\CurrentVersion 5 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SNMP_EVENTS\CurrentVersion 6 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IGMPMibAgent\CurrentVersion 7 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IPMulticastMibAgent\CurrentVers ion 8 - REG_SZ - SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IPXMibAgent\CurrentVersion Thanks. |

| 465404 | 2006-06-23 04:57:00 | first thing is putting into Hibernation and changing the connections etc is just asking for problems. dos it do it if you shut the pc down then take it home ? |

| 465405 | 2006-06-23 04:59:00 | SNMP is ignoring the key value, and it's only a warning. So I doubt if it's the problem. Why are you running SNMP? I'd turn it off. It's not needed to run anything that I know of. It's intended as a management information tool in large systems. It's probably the last item in the event log because SNMP will be doing a scan at shutdown so it's got uptodate information. I think your problem will be elsewhere. (Of course, you will disable SNMP and the problem will go away. I don't care. :cool: ) p.s. Especially if you follow tweak's advice. :D |

Wow - that was a quick response - thanks!! No, a normal shutdown and restart does not cause this issue (but I'm lazy, and don't like waiting for the laptop to start up again from scratch!! ;) ) |

I'm not a 'networky' person so I am not trying to be deliberately thick... :confused: [EDIT] Oops! Forgot to mention here that I use SQL Server 2005 - is SNMP needed for this? |

| 465408 | 2006-06-23 05:15:00 | SNMP is only required if a system administrator wants it. I doubt if it's widely used, except by automated logging systems. It's diabolically horrible to use manually. I think I'd go with tweak'e. SNMP won't do any harm, except by confusing you with warning messages. ;) |

Now I'll see whether this isolates this problem a little more... Cheers - try to have a warm weekend! |

| 465410 | 2006-06-23 09:22:00 | Just in case anyone is still looking at this one - laptop lockup happened again tonight.Event Viewer indicated a DCOM problem - further investigation indicated a problem with the permissions for the launch and activation permissions of Machine Debugger Manager (which appears to have something to do with IIS). Added the appropriate user and amended permissions - now I'll cross my fingers and see if the problem still happens.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 465411 | 2006-06-24 04:23:00 | Same approach: Are you using IIS? A quick look with "iis sql server" to Google gave some links suggesting problems using IIS and SQL server together. ;) Instead of fixing problems with all the "services", you might gain more use of the computer you have paid for by stopping some of them. :D |

A quick look with "iis sql server" to Google gave some links suggesting problems using IIS and SQL server together. ;) Unfortunately, I am using IIS, and also SQL Server - I am testing various applications that need either one or the other (sometimes both). I guess I'll have to suck it and see.... Thanks for your help. Instead of fixing problems with all the "services", you might gain more use of the computer you have paid for by stopping some of them. :D The usual story with M$ - too many choices and too many ways to skin the same cat! :D |
