Re: Networking question Ed Gadziemski13-Jun-02 11:53 Ed Gadziemski 13-Jun-02 11:53  Assuming the network card in the Win95 PC is 10BASET or 100 BASET, you will need a network hub and one network cable for each PC. The networking software is already available as part of the operating systems for both but may need to be installed. Set them up with a common workgroup, or, if your XP system is a domain controller, you can set the Win95 PC up as a domain user. Those are the basic requirements. Sounds like you have much of what you need already. Good luck. Re: Networking question Venet15-Jun-02 0:43 Venet 15-Jun-02 0:43  Well, if you are going to use Peer to Peer network, that you don't even need to have a hub/switch. All you need to do is create a workgroup, and add both PC's to it. Another thing would be is to decide on what IP address to use. In my network I use private static IP's 10.x.x.x (and they should have same SubNet mask), but this won't work if you are going to connect to the internet! In case of using DHCP, things get a bit more complicated, due to DHCP configuration.

With no switch you need a crossover cable to switch the TX and RX signals to the appropriate pins. Also, you need a switch as soon as you want to add a third PC. Re: Networking question Venet16-Jun-02 4:34 Venet 16-Jun-02 4:34  True, third PC requires to have a HUB/Switch unless you have a PC with two interfaces, and some packet forwarding software. Making cross-over cable is not really hard.

I generate 400000 random numbers and free of the memory in those locaitons. the random number funda is used to have a defragmented deallocation. Even after freeing almost half(40 MB) of memory the Task manager dosent seem to show the reduction. I guess, this is because of the defragmented deallocation which was done.Any suggetions or comments??? srikanth sundaragopalan Re: Memory Build shown by task manager in Windows Mike Nordell16-Jun-02 7:56 Mike Nordell 16-Jun-02 7:56  This is probably in the workings of the (MSVC I presume) CRT memory manager. Have a look at the malloc/free (and its implementation functions) sources and you'll see likely causes. Basically, it doesn't give up memory to the OS right away. Disclaimer: This depends on the OS and version of the MS CRT! MSVC6+ using NT5+ uses the plain HeapAlloc API's where older versions do not, and IIRC it's only for allocations above/below a certain threshold.

In my project(MFC) i use connection to the database (Microsoft Access).But in Windows95 i receive message that driver does not support this function.I try to put Microsoft Access Driver version 4.00.6019.00 .But it does not work.May be that if on computer is Windows95 i can not connect to the database? Only if is Windows98 and later? Help me,please!!! Re: Connection to the database from Windows95 Mike Nordell5-Jun-02 6:00 Mike Nordell 5-Jun-02 6:00  1. This is the wrong forum. 2. When you do find the right forum you might explain a little more of how you're trying to connect (ODBC, DAO, ADO, OLEDB, RDO,... did I forget anything?), including what error messages/symptoms you get when trying to do what you want to do. Win2000 address bar. 4-Jun-02 20:23 4-Jun-02 20:23  Is ther any way to clear the explorer address bar in w2k. Clearing the history (as suggested by microsoft) does not clear the address bar history which is now very cluttered. (I have also killed off the temp internet files & cookies) I have searched the registry and scanned all files searching for the text but cannot find a match - it must be encrypted somewhere.... Any ideas ? Re: Win2000 address bar. 5-Jun-02 13:04 5-Jun-02 13:04  Hmmm... Nobody seems to be able to answer my question. Maybe there is no answer. I have however come up with an alternative - it is a bit rough but fixes my clutter problem. I have deleted and re-created my user account. (yuk !!) Lucky I wasn't using the administrator account... Thanks anyway... Re: Win2000 address bar. Nick Parker7-Jun-02 6:03 Nick Parker 7-Jun-02 6:03  The clear history has always worked for me. If it is still not working for you, aside from reinstalling IE, you could decrease the number of days that.it keeps page(s) in history from 20. HTH Nick Parker how to create service under a network domain? 4-Jun-02 11:16 4-Jun-02 11:16  Hi all, I created a service under account it is in network domain. when i start this service it return error:1069-- the service was started from an account which does not have logon as a service provilage. Then I use the sample code provided by Microsoft to grant this provilage to this account this seems ok because all return value are ok. but start service still doesnot work. same problem. I open the policy on local computer and i logon as this account. return LsaAddAccountRights( PolicyHandle, // open policy handle AccountSid, // target SID &PrivilegeString, // privileges 1 // privilege count ); I have find the probelm. it my fault in the code. thanks all.Re: how to create service under a network domain?

The NT Service detect properly when the application crashes (deadlock). In order to reboot the system I am using the API function ExitWindowsEx to reboot the system, but it doesn’t work very well. As a matter of fact, when I call this API function the system shows a blue screen and stay in this situation timelessly. The code that I am using (the shut down example from MSDN) is show below (I guess I have got the right privilege). Does anybody know how can I make the system reboot properly? Thank you very much for your attention.

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? - Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist -Sonork ID: 100.11179 Could you Would you with a goat? - Dr Suess Re: 2 IPs on one Computer w/ 1 Nic Mike Nordell5-Jun-02 5:55 Mike Nordell 5-Jun-02 5:55  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... Re: 2 IPs on one Computer w/ 1 Nic Matt Newman5-Jun-02 6:06 Matt Newman 5-Jun-02 6:06  My thinking was that it would be a great firwall tactic route all unused ports to a dummy IP that just drops them.

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.
