Re: IIS FTP Password Problems

Sorry Roger,

This is a Windows 2000 Server. The office machines are using XP. We run
DHCP from an LinkSys router. I checked the IP address distribution as you
suggested and did not find any duplicates. The router start at .101 with
..106--.112 assigned through DHCP (only addresses between .100-.150 are
distributed in this manner).

Our printer is at .210, an internal web server is .220, and the two system
servers are at .253 and .254. The network mask is set at 255.255.255.0.
This is the only network in the office.

I've had a similar problem with an application called tftp32d. We use DHCP
at several locations for IP address administration. When the application was
installed and turned on we used to get the same error message (Address
already in use). I found that this application not only included a tftp
service, but also had a DHCP services. I assumed that the address tftp was
complaining about was the port number conflict between Window's DHCP, which
was already running, and the tftp32d application trying to run its DHCP
program.

I'm wondering if I'm running into the same thing here? Any thoughts?

I do not see mention of OS version, but given your selected newsgroup
I will assume W2k. I do not recall exactly, but believe that the event log
message written for IP conflicts only began to capture the MAC at XP
and W2k3. Basically, if you are seeing the popup that I think you are,
that there is a conflict with another machine on the network using the
same IP, then you need to chase this down through your switches/routers.

Roger,

I agree. Any ideas where I would start?

No problem. I sounds to me that you need to get to the bottom
of the "the address was already in use." message.

Sorry for not being clearer. First I tried just resetting the
password.
That didn't work, so I deleted the account and put it back in the
system.
When that didni't work I tried resetting NTFS by following the
procedure
outlined in that article I mentioned earlier. That didn't help either.

The only reason I am suspecious of IIS is that we cn still log on the
server
to access our file services and other applications.

Another think I noticed on Friday. I deleted the Default FTP server
and
reinstalled it. I received an error message that "the address was
already
in
use." I am wondering if the previous tech installed an ftp server I'm
not
aware.

Thanks for the head up on the policy for logging. I'll check that more
thoroughly on Monday.

And thanks in general. I am not a MS server person by a long shot. My
suit
is IP networks and the like. I'm a niewbe in the MS world.

For one thing, keep in mind that what appears in the security
event log will depend on what has been configured to be logged
(see the local security policy in the audit section).

Since the password for ftp login travels the network in clear
text (unless within such as IPsec ESP communication) it can
be really only a matter of who is able to sniff the traffic. Then
you can change the password any you are at point where you
experience what you report.

So, are you saying that you have just now reset the password
to a known value with Windows and then altered the process
that tries to use this so it knows the new value, etc. and that
you still are getting this login failure?

Roger,

Thanks for your input. I thought the same thing as well as the
other
tech.
If you see my response to Steven, I provided more information about
what I
did.

Why consider reinstall when it sounds like a matter of the
password having been changed, or not changed and expiring ?

Friends,

We are using IIS ftp to backup configuration files from remote
devices.
Up
until two week ago everything worked just fine. One of our
evening
call
center folks complained that the remote devices failed backup.

I was able to start an ftp connection from a client at another
location,
but
the password failed. I am getting ready to uninstall and
re-install
IIS,
but
thought I might check here first before major surgery.
