Hi All, a customer of ours had an issue yesterday restarting a production server, where the Windows Application Layer Gateway Service (ALGS) grabbed the EJB listener port 1099 before LC could. LC started but no applications could connect to LC via EJB. The server was Windows 2003 server, with LC ES 8.2.1 on JBoss Turnkey. We found the offending program via netstat getting the PID, found the process in TaskManger and killed it. Dones anyone have a permannant solution for this. The only thing I can think of is making the ALGS service dependent on LC, so it starts after it. regards Malcolm Edgar
