Does anybody know what a VFAT bluescreen on startup of Windows 95 means, I am trying to get an older computer to work for somebody but it won't let me start up. I got into scandisk via command prompt and fixed all the errors but it still won't start. Thanks if you can give me more info.

I'm assuming it won't boot in safe mode either, so the error is probably nothing to do with the Windows not recognizing the disk.
Things to find out:
Did you partition and format the system, or was it already done?
Did you install/re-install Windows, or was it already installed?
What version of Windows95 is installed?
Make sure the versions all match (i.e., it wasn't formatted with a later version than the one installed, etc.).
That's all i've got... this is usually where i dig out the installation CD

So basically since this isn't my computer and they were already thinking of just scrapping it I should deem it unrecoverable is what you are saying

Um, no, but if you were thinking of suggesting that anyway, this would be a fine excuse for it. Did this just happen out of the blue?

It was my mom's old work computer and worked fine(just old) and her boss bought it for a little email and word processing and she got it home and it was dead.

Well... if it stopped working after being moved, it could be a hardware problem. (yeah, DOS doesn't have problems, but it's DOS...) Check for loose IDE cables, etc. If hardware such as CD drives, etc. was removed, make sure the master/slave settings are still correct. But given that it is an old machine, the likelyhood that the HD is just plain going is not too bad.

I had to replace an IDE cable but I think the HD is just shot

AOA!
As u know that in FTP these days the restart feature(resuming an incomplete download) is very much necessary.
In FTP specification i have read that restart can only be supported when the transfer mode is either BLOCK or COMPRESSED. But IIS supports REST command which is used for restarting an incomplete transfer.
now i want to use IIS 5.0 on the server side and also give restart feature in the client application communicating with IIS, but IIS doesnt support either BLOCK or COMPRESSED MODE (REF:MSDN Jan 2002)
Can Anyone give me a better idea about how to get around this problem,so taht i can give restart feature on the client side ?
Thanx

Have you tried the Apache webserver??? [opens in a new window]

Don't use Apache as it does not support active server pages, and several other things.
I'm not sure if you can run IIS on Win Me (I run it in XP Pro). If not then get an up to date copy of Personal Web Server by Microsoft (probably PWS4 on the Visual Studio 6 J++ Disc).
|
|
|
|
|
I'd avoid PWS like the plague (as does my friend who ran a website of PWS until I demonstrated to him that I could read any file on his HDD, or crash his machine using the correct urls), and if someone just wants to host a simple site, then I doubt the lack of ASP will be problem (Apache supports CGI fine)

I have been working on a Service that is essentially a web server, I have gotten the server code to work in other non-service apps, but when I start the service it doesn't stop or give errors suggesting that it is running but when ever I try to view a page it just gives me a cannot find server error. The account the server is logged in as is Computer Administrator. Can anyone help me?

A long shot but if your using a proxy server normally insure that you've got the settings setup to bypass the proxy for local addresses.

Hi,
I have a DDE server running on a Windows 98 plattform.
A DDE client , executed by IIS (internet Information Server), communicAtes with it and everything is OK. Both, client and server uses ddeml. When I try to do the same on WinNT or Windows 2000 I have the following problem: the DDE client , executed by IIS, attempts to communicate with the DDE server but, the server never receives the message. But, when I run this DDE client from the shell (on NT or 2000), again, everything is right. The client sends the message and the server receives it. The DDEspy reports DDE activities when the client is executed from shell, but when it is called for the IIS, DDEspy doesnt report DDE activity, it seems like ther are running in different machines because dont see each other. DDE server andl DDE client are in https/cgi-win, the file system is FAT.
Could anybody help me? Thanks

I finally got around to connecting my old Win2K Pro PC to the Win2K Server today. I added the old pc to the Active Directory, made a Domain User account for my old logon, hooked them both into the switch and enabled the interfaces. NAT is installed on the external interface, and the server internal interface is configured at 192.168.x.y per the online instructions. I also added a subnet for the internal network to the Active Directory.
The curious part is that when I attempt to join the domain from the client, it reports that the network path couldn't be found, yet I can ping the server without trouble! Even more surprising is that from the client, with no physical connection to the outside world except thru the server, I can surf the 'net without trouble!
Any ideas as to where I should look for the trouble?

|

I have experienced this before, but after I let the workstation stay connected to the network for a few hours I was able to join the domain.
I have no good idea why it took so long though.
Did you ever get it to work?

I had given up for a while, but your reply got me to tinkering with it again. Using NAT on the server is supposed to act as a DHCP server to the local clients, but that's not happening. So I hardwired the IP settings on the client. I also forgot that I had ZoneAlarm onthe old PC, so I disabled it. The wizard for joining a domain still doesn't work (can't find the domain), but the second option to change the domain worked! I can now view the network (but not the shares on the server - more work to be done there), and access the client from the server.
Unfortunately, whenever the local network is enabled on the server, I can no longer find anything on the web - I get a lot of activity on the local net but it never tries the external interface. Back to the drawing board

NAT is unrelated to DHCP, so you will have to configure DHCP as another step. That is unless you are using some kind of wizard that does both at the same time behind the scenes.

You should try to do a tracert to a web address to see where the traffic is going. Your routing table should contain a default route that goes out your external (internet) NIC. This will let all addresses not on your internal network go out to the net.
You can use "route print" to see the routing table and "route /?" to get available routing commands.
Isn't networking fun? 
Good luck!

According to the Win2K documentation, that's exactly what NAT is supposed to do. I'm ignoring it for now, since the static settings aren't all that tough to maintain (one client).

No need. Like your experience, now that it's been running a while, it's learning where to look as it builds a routing table

Actually, yes it is! That's why I've been doing it for 7 years. But this is my first Win2K server, and as with all networking products, the docs are misleading and often plain wrong. Stumbling around in the dark a lot is part and parcel of networking... 
Thanks for your suggestions!

Yeah, I used to stumble around in the dark with networking, but now I stumble around in the dark with programming!

Create a new service account with permissions appropriate to what your program needs to access, assign it a password, then run it as that user.
