I want to create a program that has it's own IP address that it gets via a standard DHCP server. My question is how would I go about creating a program that retrieve and actively used a seperate IP address than the machine it is running on?

If my memory doesn't completely fail me, DHCP IP's are handed out on a per-MAC basis. That is, if you already have been given an IP for the NIC at hand you can't be given another one while the previous lease is active.
If you on the other hand have a static IP (and there is no DHCP-client running on that machine for that NIC) you could possibly create your own DHCP client to request an IP from the DHCP server.
Perhaps it is better to use ports after all...

My thinking was that it would be a great firwall tactic route all unused ports to a dummy IP that just drops them. Oh well thanks for help though

???
Doesn't all firewalls have the option to just drop any traffic on a specific port?
You might find it more trouble and more costly than it's wort trying to do this using Windows (any version, not just XP). Windows (some might say even Microsoft itself) is really not suited for these tasks. Try getting you hands on an old 486 or something with two NIC's and then install some *BSD or GNU/Linux.

I already have a good firewall but I was just looking for a little pet project to play around with.

I recently visited the site codeproject & went through the tutorial
on install shield. I have recently made an installation which installs
my application in VC++ & at the same time installs the InterBase Server
& console. To achieve this installation i make entries in registry & for
auto starting the interbase server i have made entry in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run
as InterBaseGuardian REG_STR <root dir="">IBServer.exe -a.
The installation is done in install shield for Microsoft VC++6.
I m facing a whimiscal problem whenever i install my appliaction in a compaq
machine that already contains Interbase server as well as VC++6 installed
in it. I tested my installation in an assembled machine which already has
both the things installed, but there it doesn't show that error.
As soon as the appliation is run it first shows message box "cann't create
socket" and then it shows "XTG unable to establish connection to the host
unknown win 32 error 10106".
Is this error due to the istallation script or its related with the
application or interbase server.
Please help me out i ll be really grateful.
thanking you!

A shell sript (which shell?), Perl script, AWK script or some other kind of script? What's on the first line (does the specified interpreter exist)? Have you made the script executable (with chmod +x)? Is it in the path? Do all external programs called from the script exist? What error messages do you get?

It's a regular Bourne shell script, and at least the echo commands should work and output whatever is given as their parameters. See here for a tutorial on shell scripts, and here for Sun's "sh" reference. All IBM's AIX manuals are also available on-line.

Hello all-
Processes on a windows box have a 4GB memory space, but of this only 2GB is addressible for user data and instructions. The rest is System memory. Windows 2000 Advanced Server can be configured to use upto 3GB for user memory.
The applications that we are porting for our project use a very large amount of memory. Sometimes in the range of 4 GB.
someone might have more information about this limit and any workarounds that might exist for getting access to more of the total memory. Please let us know.
Thanks in advance,
Sarma

if you have not already been there, please check this page on the MS site..which talks about "Application Memory Tuning" which enables your app to access more than 2GB of memory...

thanks

On x86 at least, it's impossible. On 64-bit CPUs (IA64, DEC Alpha) you can use the VLM APIs to access more than 4GB if you have enough physical RAM. Or switch to a Win64 OS. Nothing simple, unfortunately.

Does anyone know of a good method to check to see if someone has rights to a particular application via Active Directory? I actually have to do a conversion (NT Authentication) at work in VB6 (I know  ) and I am looking for a good method to do this. I have seen very little on ADSI, however I think this maybe the way to go but I would just like a little input from anyone who has been involved with something like this. Thanks in advance.

I am thinking of buying XP Pro and other than IIS & SMP what is better about XP Pro than XP Home.

Thanks for the link, but I was looking more for user experience.

I can't see the user experience being any different.
I think the only real visual diff. will be the login screen / fast user switching.

You can't be a member of a domain using XP home, but you can in PRO. This is the reason MS bill Pro as a professional OS.

I have a friend (lets call him stupid) somehow corrupted and or lost several files that are needed to install IIS in 2K Pro. He asked me to fix it but he seems to have misplaced his Windows CD (thats why I am calling him stupid) and I do not have Windows 2000. I need 17 files. If someone could email them to me, point me to a download site, or sonork them to me it would be appreciated I need:
infoctrs.ini<br />
inetinfo.exe<br />
logtemp.sql<br />
iisreset.exe<br />
iis.msc<br />
iisperf.pmc<br />
iisrstas.exe<br />
inetmgr.exe<br />
pwstray.exe<br />
pws.exe<br />
axpef.ini<br />
w3ctrs.ini<br />
browscap.ini<br />
fortutil.exe<br />
iissync.exe<br />
ftpctrs.ini<br />
IIS_infoctrs.h
Or if you could get me iis.cab that would be great. Thanks if you can help.

We are moving our Client/Server applications over to Windows Authentication; however I have run into a snag. I have read a few articles showing how to connect to an LDAP Server using Active Directory and ADO, which looks like it implements some sort of SQL like statement to query the database. The problem that I am seeing is that in the From section of the statement you are specifying what looks like a directory path/folder level of sorts. Could someone clear some of this up for me? We would like to require the user to reenter their Windows username and password and validate this is correct before letting them run the application. Please fill me in on any information that you can suggest, I am really stumped here. Thanks in advance.
