Hi,
My sincere aplogies, If i have posted it to the wrong newsgroup.
Yesterday my system Win2Kpro Sp4 received 4 updates KB937894, KB941568,
KB942615-IE6SP1...,KB941569.
Problem1:
Unfortunately I have a local VC++ program compiled using Windows socket
WS2_32.lib and MSVCRT.lib stops loading when running from DOS command prompt.
What is application does is just listen to a port and when anything connected
to that port it just relay that information to a server inside my firewall.
Like a port forwarding service but much simpler. The program compiles, but
when loading it chokes as if someone already using that port. I changed that
port# to various others like 2000, 2001, 20002, 2003, 80 or whatever I change
the result is same, the program stops loading... like a hang.

Problem2:
When I use telnet to connect to my server's port 25, the keyboard lettes are
not echoing means I get a all blanks for the keystrokes. If I tyep a command
correctly like "EHLO xxx.com" it doesnt appear on the telnet console, but
when I hit the enter key, the SMTP server responds back with
250-mx2.lab.xxx.com says hello... this reply is visible. This is really
annoying cause dont know you make any mistakes untill you hit enter key.

I am suspecting the KB941568 (security update for DirectX) and/or KB941569
(security update for Windows2000 (but the icon show a realplayer icon -
weird). If then not rest of the other 2 fixes.

Appreciate if anyone experience these issues can share their comments.

TIA.
 
KB942615 I believe is your problem. Lots of people complaining about the KB
and when they uninstall it, their problems are fixed.

Here is an article that explains that KB and what it does.

Forget this link I posted....
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-057.mspx

It's been replaced with this one...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-069.mspx

Although MS states no Known Issues this Update is indeed causing many
problems and so far the only way to fix it is to uninstall it.
