Hi all, 
I am writing my own HTTP web server that is suppose to be runnig on a computer in a network that is connected to the internet through a router. Now the router has been configed to send any HTTP protocal messages to the computer with the web server. But when I try to connect to the web server through the routers internet IP from the same computer running the server it fails to connect. Now I think that you arn't suppose to be able to connect to a local web server through a internet IP, am I right? But then how can I test that my web server works on the internet and what about FTP servers? Any ideas on how to test if the server works on the internet with the same computer running it, without connecting to it through it's local IP?

Yes you are right, you cant use the IP (a circular reference occurs). I ussually setup a DNS entry for the server (to the same hostname as the external hostname) or manually add the entry in each users HOSTS file.
Hope this helps
Who is this miscrosoft, and what devilish plans have they for us?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean  . Do you mean like creating a Dynamic DNS Url address that is binded with your external IP so others can connect to your webserver through the url address?

Give them normal user accounts, that way they can't install (or break) anything.
Or is that too restrictive for your needs?

Actually, its not restricive enough !
I need to lock down the desktop and prevent them from messing about with files too 
These are in test sets the are meant to run one application and nothing else as far as the operator is concerned.

Have you looked in the Group Policy editor? Start->Run->gpedit.msc I know it has settings to only allow certain programs (by name) to be run.

Create a group - "Rocks" perhaps - and put your users in it. Limit the permissions on the group to just those capabilities your test operators (we called them 'factory rocks' at General Dynamics, hence the group name) actually need. Give the group access to only those files and folders they need to use to run the tests.
To control the desktop, you can use a mandatory profile. I haven't had a need to do this, so I can't give you the step-by-step instructions, but it sounds simple. For each user, a folder is created in Documents and Settings. Adding the extension .MAN to the folder makes everything in it mandatory. The user can still make changes while logged on, but the mandatory settings will be restored on the next logon. If you have a number of users accessing the same machine, this could get tedious, and it might be simpler to create one generic profile for all users, then simply supply the path to it in the User Account properties page in the Profiles tab.
Better yet, take away their keyboards and rodents and supply them with a single "go" button.

My IE is displaying blue lines when I go to any web sites. I tried to upgrade my browser to 6 and it did not work. I do not think it is a video card or monitor problem. All my other applications are working properly. I tried to uninstall programs from control panel and I was not able to uninstall the program. I am using NT operating system. Any suggestions.
Thanks

How for r u sure that.... monitor/video card are OK??
The monitor showing OK in other application doesnt mean that the video card/drivers are ok. Re check it/upgrade ur driver. If possible upgrade to windows 2000. Cus NT is a outdated os. U can find 2000 as more better than NT (quite stable too!!)

Use Ghost Explorer to find the SAM file in the image. I don't know if Ghost lets you extract files, but if so, pull it out and run l0phtcrack on it.

"Av" suggests it's some kind of AntiVirus stuff.
But whatever it is/was, just search the registry (using regedit.exe) for the string. If it's in a branch where you don't have modification access, fire up the non-Win95 registry editor (regedt32.exe), modify the access rights, and then used regedit.exe again to remove the branch.
Repeat as needed.

Basically... I know nothing on networking the PCs....
I have 2 PCs at home. One is running on Win2K-Advanced Server.. and other on win XP. I want to connect these tow PCs and put them in network. As I said, I have no idea about networking. I will be happy, if anyone can help me to put in network. Finally... I should be able to share my files etc across the PCs...
Thanks!

Because google usually leads here. Google does not answer questions, it just finds the pages.
It's really involved to explain, if you have a page of instructions, why not try it ?

It is easy, once you've done it, but it's not simple to write down for someone else to follow the steps. Since you have a server, I assume you have a domain set up. The WinXP client must have an account in the domain to do what you're trying to accomplish. Each user of the WinXP machine must also have a user account in the domain. The WinXP machine should also have the Simple security mode turned off - in this default mode, all requests to other machines are made using the Guest account, which isn't going to work. I'd set up the server first, configure the local NIC to use the 192.168.0.1 IP address, then follow the instructions for joining a domain in the WinXP Help. The best way to physically connect the two PCs is thru a hub or switch, but if you don't have one handy you can connect them directly with a crossover cable. If you run into problems (you will) be patient, and check out MS Technet - there's a bunch of good info there, though admittedly it can be hard to locate. You can also find some useful help at TechRepublic.com, though the quality has been falling for some time...

Keep posting your progress... it's really not hard, but it's hard to describe how to do this from memory. I subscribe to Einstein's advice - never memorize what you can look up - and since I have no XP machine handy, I can't easily give you step by step instructions. I've done it, but I don't recall the exact steps. If you hit a hard spot in the path, post again and we'll go from there. Otherwise, just wait for Richard D. to show up - he's a wizard at this stuff.

Search on the web, there's lots of advice. At home I have my fiancee's computer hooked up to mine with one simple "cross-over" network cable. Cheap and easy. And with Internet Connection Sharing (which you enable in the network properties) we share her DSL internet connection. Sweet.
