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:

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

  2. 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>]
