DHCP fails to start using Inoculan on Compaq

ID: Q246807

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run Inoculan AntiVirus software on a Compaq Proliant 3000s server running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 (including Service Pack 3 and a Software Support Diskette from January 1998), you may find that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service does not start. You may receive a Jetpack error message reporting Error 1811, and Event Viewer may record Events 1004, 1018, 1008, 1014, and 1016.

Also, if you reinstall the DHCP service, you may find that the DHCP database becomes corrupted every few days.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Inoculan software interferes with the DHCP service.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:

Use the Add/Remove Programs tool in the Control Panel to remove the Inoculan program from the server.

Download and install the latest service pack, and then restart the server.

Recreate the DHCP database.
