Groupwise 6 for windows plus Mcafee HIPS 7.0.833

[b***@gmail.com]

We are rolling out the Mcafee HIPS software. So for it works good on
our Win XP desktops but our Win 2003 servers are having a couple of
issues.

We are using VirusScan 8.5 patch 6, Mcafee Agent 4.0.1180 and
AntiSpyware 8.5.0.163.
On our windows servers we run Groupwise for Windows version 6.5.7. The
MTA seems to work but the POA errors out with a message "TCP/IP may
not be configured" and then terminates. The MTA/POA are installed as a
service.

The POA log files contain:
17:38:23 4B8
17:38:23 4B8 ************************* Initializing

17:38:28 644 Checking guardian database

17:38:37 4B8

17:38:39 4B8
************************Terminating*************************


I tried disabling the firewall and host/network intrusion prevention
but this had no effect. I had to actually uninstall the HIPS software
from the server before it would work. After doing this and rebooting
it works normally.

Is there any way to fix this?
