Do you have to have a console session?
If not, and you mean Win2k server rather than workstation, just use terminal services in administrative mode. Much better performance than VNC.

I'm using RealVNC, It got a recomendation for it over on hardforum.com. It blew the performance of tightvnc out of the water. Monitoring a maximized boinc (distributed computing) client with taskamanger sitting on top. Tvnc was taking 8-15% (spiking to 20, averaging 10%) of my athlon1500 at 1024x768, rvnc is peaking at ~10% running 1280x1024, and averaging about 1%. This is over my home lan, so bandwidth wasn't an issue I looked at.

Thanks for your replies. I've decided to go with WinXP.

Hi! I have have a problem of accessing the IIS http site remotely when establishing network with DSL router acting as DHCP.
My configuration is as follows:
- I have a router connected to the internet and acts as DCHP
- I have my PC directly connected to the router through wired ethernet and obtain its IP address from the router
- On the PC I bridged my wired ethernet connection with a wifi connection so that my laptop can join the network and access the internet
- The laptop obtains its address also from the router through the PC bridge
now the laptop can see the PC from the network places and can share files and transfere files with no problems, but when I try to browse an IIS website on the PC from the laptop it cannot reach it.
The strange thing is that if I removed the bridge and established a wifi network using static IPs on both sides, the problem disappears and the site becomes accesable from the laptop, but once I bridge the connections back and the laptop join the network DHCPed by the router the site is not accessable again.
Please if anyone have an idea how to configure the network so that I can access the IIS remotley with the above network configuration please tell me.
Thanks in advance for your help

What do mean by this?? What did you use?? TOday's routers come with both wireless and wired connections, so why did you go through the PC to do this?

1. the WinXP has a nice feature called network bridge that can bridge two or more network adapters to brdige different networks together
2. i have no trouble in connection, i did say that the laptop joined the network
3. for your question, I didnt use the hard way except if there is no simpler way, so just assume that the route is a "yesterday router" with no wifi and single ethernet outlet, or simply it's too far to establish another wired or wireless connection
again the network is working well in terms of file sharing and pinging, the only problem is that i cannot access the IIS remotely unless i establish a dedicated static IPs wifi connection
Thanks

Try to connect your laptop to the router, and test it whether is it working or not.

I would have tired this and saved me lots of trouble in connecting in the first place, but simply the router is too remote from me to make another wired connection or access it through wifi. Please note that I have no problem with connection and the laptop is joining the network and is seen as part of it, the remote IIS acess is the only problem

When you change the connection, you have no more problem. In my opinion, your obstacle is might be came from the type of connection its self. I never use wifi connectivity but in my opinion, i suggest you to check the property of your connection and try to analys which feature that might cause the problem.

well i already mentioned that connecting through wifi using static IPs on both sides without the bridge everything works well, it seems that there is a problem accessing just the http server when the router-network configuration

According to your first post[^] and MAAK wrote: connecting through wifi using static IPs on both sides without the bridge everything works well
.
From here, i suspect that your computer might not be able to obtain an IP address from the router. When the client could not obtain an IP address from the router, you will see it ip address form like 169.254.x.x, a self assign ip address to the client itself when it could not find DHCP server. On more question, do you have DHCP relay agent or your router have a built in DHCP relay agent?

I already mentioned (may be not explictly) that the netowrk is established normally, the machines has its valid IP (obeying the DHCP IP range and mask), pinging working very well, the Laptop can access the internet through the PC brdige, almost every thing from the point that machines are correctly connected is OK. It is just that the intranet sites are not accessable, I just doubt that it may be related to the gateway and DNS configuration. It's like the http request might be passed through them and never get to its destination.
I also knew about existance of routing table in the system, I donno much about it, but it might be a way to solve the problem if it was the gateway. I just don't get any info about the routing table and if it related to the problem

I'm working from home today (car's in for service), trying to test/debug my apps behavior when the network connection's interrupted. My problem is that yanking the ethernet cable, which works fine from my cube at work, also kills my VPN connection and restarting it's a pain when I'm blowing the connection away every couple of minutes. Does XPpro provide any easy way to interupt my apps connection with the click of a button?

Nope. Anything you do will also tear down your VPN connection...
You couldn't even do it using the firewall or router filtering because you're going through a VPN "pipe" that's wrapping and encrypting all of your communication with your work network.

Not even with a local firewall that;s normally able to disable programs seperately? Being a work machine I didn't want to install any unneeded software, so I didn't give it a try. I have a FW built into my home router for protection.

All your firewall will see is one single communication - the VPN tunnel. Everything that happens within this is invisible to the firewall.
|

Nope. Your firewall will never see the traffic that's inside that VPN tunnel. Since that traffic is encrypted, there is no way for it to know what's going on inside the tunnel. The same is true for your home firewall. It can only see the VPN tunnel, not what's going on inside it.

 How can I change the text("start") and small windows image of a start button in WINDOWS XP PRO?
Any query related to VB.NET+Network Programming

I once just changed the "start" text using resource hacker. As I remember it was a string resource in the explorer.exe, but to do it you need to make from another operting system instance (mean that your pc have more than one windows) because there is some kind of file protection system in the windows that restores the explorer.exe (I donno how!!) if it was tampered while the OS is running.
I have no idea about the image, but it should be part of the windows skin (the luna)

Can you provide some sample code or any website resource on how to do this?
|
|
|
|
|
just open Visual studio, select the exe or the dll from which you want to open the resource, select "open with resource editor" (which is not the default case), and open it...
