service not available"sapdp00".

[Former Member]

In my 8 year career I never had problem using "services" file in "c:\windows\service32\drivers\etc".

However there is an XP machine (with regular connection to network) with problem "service not available"sapdp00". It is like this settings come from somewhere else. I tried with search for "services" butunsuccessfully

The "service" file is copied from my XP machine where everything is functionning in same network. How could I trace where the problem is?

Hello,

Could you explain your problem once again ?

Do you try to connect with sapgui from this XP machine to a SAP system which system number is 00 ?

Is there really a "services" file on the XP machine ?

If yes, is the line

sapdp00 3200/tcp

present in the file ?

Tina,

if you added this line at the end of the file, make sure that your press the ENTER key at least 2 times.

when a entry does not end with a |carriage return", Windows ignores it.

I've seen you've crossposted your question in 3 forums.

Do you think this is really necessary ?
