True. If we drag the ISP too much pointing fingers and then if they diagnose our system at fault, it would be more embarrassing. Let us try to zero in exactly at any fault that might be haunting our system and then expand the circle to the next level.

Then do a cross-test:
- same computer, other location/ISP; should be fast to confirm your suspicion on ISP
- other computer, same location/ISP: should be slow

Would traceroute to a known host help out throwing some light on where exactly and in which hop the network is getting and/or experiencing a bottleneck?
Also, during the Internet Connection, can you open TaskManager and see if any of the processes are busy engaging the CPU (CPU Cycles) or Memory Consumption tab?

One test that should be done to determine if the problem is in your PC or with the ISP.
Boot your windows on "Safe mode with networking", after you login try to download any large file (a game or any update) from Yahoo or Microsoft (this will insure you are accessing a GOOD bandwidth site).
While downloading, see the downlaod rate, if it is lower than expected, then there is a problem with your ISP else it is your machine.
I hope that helps

This function returns a value of 65 on my system due to an unknown corruption problem, yet midiOutGetDevCaps() throws an exception for any device other than 0 (GS Wavetable). Does anyone know how to make XP properly reflect the correct number of Midi Output Devices? Thank you.

There is this driver protection thing in Windows 2003 that keeps blocking a driver from a software I need to install (it's a monitoring software that has 4 kernel mode drivers). Since this is not a rootkit/backdoor application there should be a way to instruct Windows to trust this driver.
Anybody knows how to resolve this issue? The driver works fine on XP and 2000 systems. I tried to google it but found no real solution.

If you are running a TS:
Did you switch to install mode?
change user /install
Try again.
then:
change user /execute
Otherwise, you are in User Local mode for Installation.

hi freinds.
how to know all the systems IP Addresses which are conected in network
at a time. Clearly is there any comand which displays all the systems
IP adresses which are connected in network at that instance.

There is no "map" of ip-addresses stored on your computer. You need to use a different means of retrieving all computers currently switched on in a network (evaluation of domain server data, for example).
For example: Retrieve hostnames of all networked computers from an active directory. Do a DNS resolve for every hostname. Ping the IP-addresses returned -> List of all active computers in a domain.
IP itself is connectionless. If the network is small enough, you can try to ping every address in the network.
Additionally, the manufacturer of your network infrastructure nodes (routers, etc.) might have a tool that offers this kind of mapping.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Do a broadcast ping. Who ever replies would be connected to the Domain.
In turn if you are aware of subnets what u can do is use the follwing shell Script
<br />
@Echo off<br />
date /t > IPList.txt<br />
time /t >> IPList.txt<br />
echo =========== >> IPList.txt<br />
For /L %%f in (1,1,100) Do Ping.exe -n 2 192.168.1.%%f | Find "Request timed out." && echo 192.168.1.%%f Timed Out >> IPList.txt && echo off<br />
cls<br />
Echo Finished!<br />
@Echo on<br />
Notepad.exe IPList.txt<br />
save the above file as IPTracker.bat. The output file would be IPList.txt in the directory where IPTracker.bat exists
The above code will search for subnet 192.168.1.0 to 100. This would return the network IP Adreses not in use. the rest are all connected. By changing the IP supplied to the script u can check out all the systems that are connected.
One advice is if you are using DHCP in ur network there is no surity that the network connected today would be use tommorow by the same machine or in use at all. So according to your needs you can modfiy the shell script.
Hope this fills ur requirements

Angry IP Scanner[^] will search the subnet your on fairly quickly.

This is a bit of a long story, so bear with me. I have Comcast for my broadband access and my modem has been on the fritz for a few months. It finally crapped out a couple of days ago. Since it was easier to get a new modem from the Comcast customer service outlet than to haggle with them over the phone about who's problem it was, I did that.
Next chapter - I plugged the modem in and hit it with my IE browser, whereupon it lead me through the installation procedure. During the process it installed a bunch of crapware on my computer which I summarily purged as soon as the installation was over. But one thing I found that I can't get rid of is a Comcast icon they deposited on the right side of the IE menubar. They had also modified the titlebar to claim that it was their branded version of IE, which was easy to find and fix with regedit.
So the only vestige now is the crappy little icon in the menubar. Does anyone have any idea of how they installed this and what I might do to get rid of it?
[edit]
Sorry for the flurry, I just found my answer via Google. Those buttheads had installed a new set of icon paths in the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Toolbar registry area. All I had to do was to remove them and everything is back to normal.
Why, oh WHY, do these idiots feel like they have to monkey up our computers like this? isn't it enough that they won't even take responsibity for their failing equipment? Time to head over to the Soapbox...

When Windows 2003 Server is resolving a name from an application, what order is followed in that resolve?
Does it search DNS first then go to hosts if no entry is found
-or- Does it search hosts first then go to DNS to resolve the name
|
|
|
|
|
hosts first, dns second
Cheers,
Sebastian

The full search order is cache, WINS, Broadcast, Lmhosts, Hosts, and then DNS.

WTF? Use a sandpaper disk on the drive, problem solved. As soon as the lense is scratched into oblivion, noone will be able to use the disk anymore.

Are you training to become a sony rootkit developer?
Because the stuff your suggesting is just as evil.

is there anyway to read the boot order from cmos programmaticaly. pls help me
|
|
|
|
|
Well I am an experienced Assembly language programmer so to do this you must first know that access to the CMOS memory is done via access to port 0x70 for writing and 0x71 for reading, and thus recognizing the CMOS options like clock, boot order, and other options, and this can be made using one of the API's in Visual Studio (hint: search MSDN), well though I prefer doing these low level stuff using an Assembly/C DLL linked to your program if you prefer!
To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

I have mistakenly deleted the my service exe from the specified path and it can't be obtained again but my control panel is still showing the service icon in my control panel > services. When i try to install the same service again from the installer,it says service already installed. Now how do i remove such a service from my control panel without my service exe?

Delete the corresponding key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and reboot.

hi to all!!!!
windows-xp home edition is installed in my system.
i wanna know how to build 2 primary partitions
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately for you, there can be only one primary (hence the name!) partition on a drive. If your Windows XP installation is in a partition that is taking up the entire drive, you'll have to use a third party partitioning tool to resize the existing partition so you don't loose everything, and you can then create a second partition on the drive.
