Hello everyone. I notice quite often that in my Event Viewer, the following appears with an event ID of 7000: "The A4SII300 service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. " How can I find out what this file is and can it be reinstalled? Does anyone know what service this refers to? Thanks!!

A Google search turned up the following: It appaers that this file has something to do with a scanner driver. http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/2000-06/0164.html In the mean time, one of the errors I keep seeing in the log is something about "a4sii300." I found something online about editing the registry entry for A4SII30's DependonGroup to Parallel Arbitrator. When I made this change, it brought up on that line "device/a4sii300.sys" From another site: I was checking my event viewer and notice this error on last startup The A4SII300 service depends on the ÿParallel arbitrat group and no member of this group started. Which was then followed by Remote Access Connection Manager failed to start because NDISWAN could not be opened. Restart the computer. The system cannot find the file specified. Which was then followed by Your computer was unable to automatically configure the IP parameters for the Network Card with the network address 525400DB6FDB. The following error occurred during configuration: WSAStartup cannot function at this time because the underlying system it uses to provide network services is currently unavailable. . I think maybe I've hit on the cause of the problem, but I'd be darned if I new where to go to fix it. I'll keep working on it and keep this thread updated, if you can help I'd be glad. txtxcowboy (MIS) Jul 24, 2001 Now it sounds like a bad driver or bad NIC. Not being able to automatically configure IP parameters hits on it being a DHCP issue (obtaining an IP from your ISP's DHCP sever). Now, as for your HUB, does your ISP allows this? The reason I ask is because my ISP (Roadrunner) does not and they have blocked simply using a hub and requesting multiple IP's without paying for em. However, if you were to use a router and NAT you would not have this issue because the router gets the 1 IP provided from the ISP and the Router also does DHCP/NAT on your internal network and hands out internal IP's to all your machines and everything "ROUTES" through the 1 IP provided by the ISP. Other than that, the ONLY thing I can think is that your ISP is blocking certain ports (which they shouldn't, that should be up to you) but you never know with ISP's. Give them a ring and see what they have to say. Hope this helps. If not plug the error into Google and read for yourself.
