    Not long got home (02:15 02-Aug-2003) from installing the server. Fresh install not an upgrade. Back there in about 7 hours to finish configuring the clients and connecting them to the domain. After that copy all data back to the server and new clients and install a bit of software. Sunday we take them from my company premises back onsite reconnect and hope all is well. Windows Server 2003 (as David Stone told me it was called) installed OK. But the wizard that set the role of the server bit me. I took the typical settings as it was my first time through and it was getting late. Bad move as it created a DHCP server, didn't want it as we have hardware doing it elsewhere. Removed it, activated it and updated it. Looking good so far. Thanks for your reply.

    specify smart host server in Delivery->Advanced if you aren't directly connected to internet. Then using CDONTS connect to that mail instance and send your messages. If you have your program/component running on that machine, then you don't need to do any connecting, just send and they will go. Having message arrive is a different story because you need MX records specified.

    On a PC modem I always attach a telephone, in "pass through" mode to check that the modem cable is correct first of all. If you hear a ringtone then I use Hyperterminal and enter:- ATDT 1471 This will dial the number 1471, in the UK this is a free phone number that tells you who was the last person to dial you, or try any free phone number. Pick up the phone after dialing and see if you hear anything, you should hear something via the modem speaker. Also try it on another phone line, i.e. at your houuse. Or reset the modem to the factory default using the relevant AT command, see your manual and try again. If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants. - Isaac Newton 1676

    Which firewall? Generally, you have to enable applications and ports individually on a new firewall. Most software firewalls automatically inform you that a program is attempting to access the Internet and ask whether you want to allow this. If you permit it you will not be blocked again. If the one you have installed doesn't offer this, you'll need to check the documentation to find out how to enable specific types of traffic. I've only used one type of hardware firewall, and it gave no notification of any kind; I had to manually create a table of permitted ports and traffic types allowed to pass. If you are using MMC to open IIS, you should have no trouble (I think), but using the web interface for administration won't work until the firewall is properly configured. At a minimum you need to allow HTTP traffic on port 80, but others may be required, as well. "The Lion shall lie down with the Lamb; but the Lamb will not get much sleep..." Lazarus Long

    I figured out I needed Windows Media Encoder to create a live stream. That caused a problem with CPU usage would be equivelent to powering the space shuttle with the engine out of a Geo Metro. Matt Newman Sonork: 100:11179 Signiture 2.0 Coming Soon!

    Hi I don't think it is the same problem. When you export from w2k, the reg file is unicoded. This can't be shown in w98 notepad (try wordpad instead) According to the reg export from the w2k system it is: "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" Maybe w98 can't read these because it is to new a format ?

    DON'T USE THE IDE TO COMPILE!!! use the build-in build environment from the ddk... start menu/ddk/build environment/... create the makefile and sources(or better copy them from an example driver source) and use the "build -cZ" command Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

    Something like this: CString sOS; OSVERSIONINFO OSversion = {0}; OSversion.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO); ::GetVersionEx(&OSversion); switch (OSversion.dwPlatformId) { case VER\_PLATFORM\_WIN32s: sOS.Format(\_T("Windows %d.%d"),OSversion.dwMajorVersion,OSversion.dwMinorVersion); break; case VER\_PLATFORM\_WIN32\_WINDOWS: if (OSversion.dwMinorVersion == 0) { sOS=\_T("Windows 95"); } else { if (OSversion.dwMinorVersion == 10) { sOS=\_T("Windows 98"); } else { if (OSversion.dwMinorVersion == 90) { sOS=\_T("Windows ME"); } } } break; case VER\_PLATFORM\_WIN32\_NT: if (OSversion.dwMajorVersion == 5 && OSversion.dwMinorVersion == 0) { sOS.Format(\_T("Windows 2000 with %s"),OSversion.szCSDVersion); } else { if (OSversion.dwMajorVersion == 5 && OSversion.dwMinorVersion == 1) { sOS.Format(\_T("Windows XP %s"),OSversion.szCSDVersion); } else { if (OSversion.dwMajorVersion <= 4) { sOS.Format(\_T("Windows NT %d.%d with %s"),OSversion.dwMajorVersion, OSversion.dwMinorVersion,OSversion.szCSDVersion); } else { // for unknown windows/newest windows version sOS.Format(\_T(Windows NT Unknown %d.%d with %s)),OSversion.dwMajorVersion, OSversion.dwMinorVersion); } } } I prefer to wear gloves when using it, but that's merely a matter of personal hygiene [Roger Wright on VB] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

    I haven't worked with XP in a mixed environment, but as a general rule I prefer to install the drivers for any printer in the network on each machine that might use it. That way I am assured that the correct driver for each machine's OS version is at least available locally, in case the printer server doesn't have or can't locate the correct version. The error sounds like a permissions thing, and there is a default GPO in WInXP. When XP refers to a server, it may be using the term to reference any host providing a service, including printing. Remember that in Microsoft terminology, any client which is sharing a printer on a network is called a Print Server. "The Lion shall lie down with the Lamb; but the Lamb will not get much sleep..."
