Are you trying to do this from a user account? Some configuration changes require you to be the root user. There are two ways to do this: 1) If you are logged in as a user type the command: su - 2) Log in as root

I log on as root. I su at the terminal but that doesn't work either. Does WinXP have any effect on this?
