I cannot run my asp.net application in w2k server.
But the program works fine under w2k professional.
Can anyone tell me is there any difference in the settings?
Many thanks. 11 1360
ASP.NET is not enabled by default on a w2k box - are you sure you have setup
the server to support ASP.NET ?

My car ran fine yesterday on the way to work. My car cannot run today on the
Interstate. Can anyone tell me if it's the transmission?
The quality of an answer is directly proportional to the quality of the

IOW, Garbage in, Garbage out.
Are you being charged for your post by the word? Maybe you could add a few.

From one "Newbie" to another, I think this reply was rather unprofessional.
I admit that I don't know that much about the differences between W2k
Professional and W2k Server operating systems; however, I do know that there
ARE some differences. My husband had to re-configure our Server operating
system when he removed it from being the household server (he is the
Director of IT - he knows what he's doing - I know enough to be dangerous!)
He had to re-install the operating system to make the one-time Server a
client on the new Server machine. So, this tells me that there ARE
differences between Server operating systems and client operating systems.
While I don't have an answer to ASP newbie's question, I do think that Kevin
was overlooking that fact that newbie asked if there ARE
differences...please try to be a little more courteous to those you are
supposed to be trying to help - we aren't here because we know it all! We
browse these newsgroups looking for help and advice. I appreciate the help
I've been given, but I don't appreciate it when those helping treat us as
though we are idiots! While we may or may not be, you don't have be rude
about it!

I wasn't being rude. I began with an analogy, to demonstrate the inadequacy
of the question in terms that anyone can understand. The question cannot be
answered accurately as it stands. "The settings" is not specific enough to
determine what "settings" the poster is discussing. And the misbehavior of
the poster's application could be due to any number of factors, as the
information given was too generic to make any kind of guess whatsoever. So,
making a wild guess that the problem (not identified in any way except for
the phrase "cannot run") is due to "The settings" (not identified in any way
whatsoever), is not logical.
Yes, there are differences betwen servers and operating systems, but that is
irrelevant. We have no way of knowing ANYTHING about the cause of the
problem. In fact, we know nothing about the problem at all. If you plan to
become a "professional" programmer, first learn logic. Half of programming
is logic.
Communication is the process of providing and receiving meaningful
information. When a person asks a question, in order to get a meaningful
response, must provide meaningful information about the problem. This is one
meaning of the term "Garbage in, Garbage out," which I didn't invent.
I'm here to help people with problems they have programming in ASP.Net. In
order to resolve this poster's problem, it is first necessary to diagnose
it. In order to diagnose the problem, certain information must be provided
(you know, like going to the Doctor, and he asks "where does it hurt?"). So,
in order to solve this person's immediate problem, which is poor
communication skills, I offered help with that problem, so that, assuming
that the original poster took my advice, he would be able to provide the
information necessary to solve the other (unknown at this point) problem. By
giving him some advice about effective communication, I hoped to help him
solve future problems as well.
Now, I've been doing this for free for about 8 years now. As a compassionate
person that wants to help, and a person who spends a good bit of time
putting together detailed and explicit information for people with probems,
it often frustrates me when the people who need the help don't spend half as
much time framing their issues in ways that enable me (and the others here)
to help them. So I ended with a little joke, perhaps a bit sarcastic, but
out of frustration, not anger or malice.
YOU, on the other hand, have no help to offer. Instead, you want to publicly
castigate me for my bedside manner. The medical community has a saying:
"First, do no harm." By attacking me publicly, you have done just that, to
someone who has spent countless hours helping people voluntarily. Perhaps
you and I would both have been better off if you had either approached me
privately, or just kept your mouth shut.

I will apologize then for "Publicly" sending the email. I will not however,
change my feeling that your response was unprofessional and uncalled for.
While I appreciate all of the help that I have received using these
newsgroups, and on occasion I have been able to send some help of my own, I
have never had a Microsoft professional respond in such an unprofessional
manner, and I have never responded in such a manner. I hope that you can

How can you logically apologize for something and in the same breath, do it
again? Again, rather than help, you offer attack, which helps nobody.
BTW, I am NOT a "Microsoft Professional." I don't work for Microsoft, never
have. This is purely voluntary (I thought I had pointed that out). And, as
long as we're on the subject, who are you to define what is professional? I
AM a professional. You are not. When you've paid your dues, like the rest of
us professionals, you may earn that right. Do you have the self-discipline
to do so? Only time will tell.
Maybe politics would be more suitable a profession for you. Logic is
necessary for programming, but not for politics.

NEVER implied that you are not a professional programmer, in fact by your
signature, "Microsoft MVP" I knew that you were. What I said was that you
responded in an unprofessional manner. Your lengthy posts, in my opinion,
only go to prove this. I will not respond any further to any additional
posts from you. You are entitled to your opinion of me, as I am entitled to
my opinion of you. I AM a professional programmer by trade, I have on
occasion posted responses to individuals asking for help, but have NEVER in
any manner responded unprofessionally. You just have, many times. I'm
done, you can post more, but your posts will only go to show how
unprofessional your manner is.

I dont mean to rub it in, but I'll say that I totally agree with Kevin. You
talk too much for someone that has never helped anybody Colleen. In effect
Kevin's post was very helpful, not only to the newbie but also to anybody
trying to offer any kind of help. I dont understand why you got all heated
up. Personally I think you owe him a "proper" public apology...
There is no such thing as unprofessional help on these public news groups,
either you help "Free" purely voluntary basis or you dont. Instead of
attacking Kevin, maybe you want to contribute and help out, if you feel you
find the original posters question meaningful ;p
Keep up the great work kevin --You've probably already prevented many
newbies from making many inacurate, meaningless posts and hopefully enabled
contributers, like colleen to providing the "professional" help they seek to
provide ;p
The truth cannot offend ofcourse, and if something does not offend then by
definition it cant be rude :)
Peace and god bless.

You talk too much for someone that has never helped anybody Colleen. In effect Kevin's post was very helpful, not only to the newbie but also to anybody trying to offer any kind of help. I dont understand why you got all heated up. Personally I think you owe him a "proper" public apology...
There is no such thing as unprofessional help on these public news groups, either you help "Free" purely voluntary basis or you dont. Instead of attacking Kevin, maybe you want to contribute and help out, if you feel
you find the original posters question meaningful ;p
Keep up the great work kevin --You've probably already prevented many newbies from making many inacurate, meaningless posts and hopefully
enabled contributers, like colleen to providing the "professional" help they seek
to provide ;p
The truth cannot offend ofcourse, and if something does not offend then by definition it cant be rude :) Peace and god bless.

How can you logically apologize for something and in the same breath,
do it again? Again, rather than help, you offer attack, which helps nobody.
BTW, I am NOT a "Microsoft Professional." I don't work for Microsoft, never have. This is purely voluntary (I thought I had pointed that out).
And, as long as we're on the subject, who are you to define what is professional? I AM a professional. You are not. When you've paid your dues, like the rest of us professionals, you may earn that right. Do you have the self-discipline to do so? Only time will tell.
Maybe politics would be more suitable a profession for you. Logic is necessary for programming, but not for politics.
