When you use the Windows NT simple TCP/IP services to view the "Quote of the
Day", the following event appears in the System Log (as seen with the Event
Viewer):

  Event ID: 10
  Source: SIMPTCP
  Type: Error
  Description: The simple TCP/IP service could not find the UDP QOTD Port. The
  UDP QOTD service is not started.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem:

1. Open the SERVICES file in the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC directory
  using a text editor, such as Notepad.

2. Ensure the following entry exists in the SERVICES file:

  qotd               17/tcp    quote
  qotd               17/udp    quote

NOTE: The entry in the SERVICES file uses the following format:

  <service name> <port number>/ <protocol> [aliases...]
  [#<comment>]
