Solution: 2. Shut down the administration server in the following ways: C. On NT: To stop the administration server, go to Control Panel|Services. Select the "Netscape Administration Server" and click Stop. To restart it, click Start.
Since you're already there, click Startup, and select Manual, then click OK. This will prevent the server from starting automatically when the system starts, which will prevent anyone from trying to brute-force the administrative (default is "admin") account. my 2ยข, amonotod ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
