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

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.

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...

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.

how to create service under a network domain?

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
);

Confused | :confused:

I have find the probelm. it my fault in the code. thanks all.Re: how to create service under a network domain?

Hi!

I have written an NT Service to monitor an application execution.

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.

LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME,
&tkp.Privileges[0].Luid);

tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1; // one privilege to set
tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;

// Get the shutdown privilege for this process.

// Shut down the system and force all applications to close.

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... Smile | :)

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 Smile | :)

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 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!
regards

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.
