Services Utility: RIP Listener Service | Display Name (?): | RIP Listener | | Short Name (?): | iprip | | Executable (?): | svchost.exe | | Library (?): | iprip.dll | | Depends On (?): | Remote Procedure Call (RPC) | | Supports (?): | None. | | Description (?): | Listens for route updates sent by routers that use the Routing Information Protocol version 1 (RIPv1). | | OS (?): | 2000 Professional, XP Home/Professional, Vista Home/Business, 2000 Server, Server 2003, Vista Server | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Automatic | Disabled | Automatic | Automatic | Disabled | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The RIP listener service allows a Windows computer to monitor the network for Ripv1 routing updates. This lets your network run a bit more smoothly without you having to manually update static routes. Since it's only Ripv1 it doesn't help in a highly segmented network, because Ripv1 doesn't broadcast the subnet mask information. This service should only be used on a corporate network, and even then it's usefulness is limited. I suggest that you uninstall this feature unless you need it. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
