Thank you very much for your support. Now I understand the main difference between normal format and quick format.

Yes, there are a few. But, who cares? Just scan your entire system for viruses, using a reputable virus scanning package with the latest updates.

I never met that kind of virus. But in my opinion, i think it has because virus is the software that cause operating system run incorrectly and disturb or annoyes to computer user.
If you met this kind of virus, i think you should use your keyboard shortcut to access an anti-virus software and scan your system.

Hi,
Are there any ways to get Event Log information from a remote box other than with the EventLog class?
EventLog dumps the entire collection of log entries, for the specified log, as soon as it's opened. There is no way to throttle it, Read Next, or filter on anything besides "Source". The buffer size appears to be set at 40,000 and I don't see any way to change that (not that I'd want to). Everything was going great until I tried to get a a rather large log.
And of course, the solution has to be entirely from the client side and I have no control over the size of the remote server logs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Without using the EventLog class??? You'd have to come up with your own implementation of the class, P/Invoking all the Windows API calls and structures involved. You might be able to use the existing EventLog classes and just override or add new methods to read the events one at a time or implement an asynchronous version of the log download.
You can find more about the Event Log API here[^]. If you look in the Contents in the left pane, you'll see Windows Event Log. Dont bother looking at it yet, it's the API used in Vista. It doesn't exist in lower versions of Windows, at least not yet...

Thanks,
I was just looking at ".NET Framework Solutions: In Search of the Lost Win32 API" over at Amazon. I haven't played with Win32 since the Windows 95 days so it's a little daunting for what should have been the simple part of the app.
As far as extending the EventLog class. I don't see anything exposed as "protected" that could help me.
Oh well!

Huh??? No, you create your own EventLog class! EIther by inheriting from the original EventLog class or by creating one from scratch. Then you can add your own methods to open the remote machine's event log and download each event, one at a time, from each log.

I understand.
My point was that: in addition to the exposed (public) fields/properties, there are NO unexposed (protected) fields/properties in the FCL's EventLog class that would be nice to get at. So, there is no point in inheriting from it. There is nothing it would provide as a base class to make it any less useless to me.

Hi, my question is simple: is there a dos command or winxp program that can be used to check the IP addresses of networked computers remotely? Basically my problem is, I have an ethernet cable connected from my computer to a piece of hardware that has an IP address. I can only check what that IP address is from my computer, not from that hardware. How can I do this?
Thanks!

If this piece of hardware sits in between your computer and another, use tracert to the other computer. The IP address of each hop along the way should be displayed.

Unfortunately the hardware and my computer are the only two nodes in the network, I just have an ethernet cable hooked directly to it, and there's no other way I can do it, it's a piece of military hardware and this is how it's set up. Basically the problem is that I have to connect to it using telnet or something similar in order to get some files off of it and I don't know what the IP address is.

I'm no network engineer by any means so my suggestion is a most inefficient one. How about looping through all the IP addresses (2564) until you find the one that responds?

Guess that's what I'm going to end up having to do, I feel like there should be an easier way though. Oh well, thanks.

There is nothign that will tell you want the IP address is. There's no way to communicate with something that you don't already have the address for. You'll have to get the documentation on the device or someone will have to tell you what it is.
Or, you could, like the other poster said, ping every IP address until you find the one that responds. This could a VERY VERY VERY LONG time. But, you can narrow this down by trying only the private address ranges to start with. Which are:
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (about 65,534 addresses)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (about 1.04 million addresses)
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (about 16.7 million addresses)

For the network of two computers, your's and the military hardware, how are the IP addresses assigned? For instance, if your IP is DHCP assigned, then it's likely that the other hardware has a similarly assigned IP. On the other hand if your IP is static, someone must have assigned it to your PC and again it's likely that the other hardware has been assigned in a similar fashion. I'm not answering your question, but maybe it will give you an idea of other things to look at for your solution.

I have read many answer that post to your question. But it seem that it does not relate to your question.

If it is in the same LAN, and you also know the computer name, then try to use the PING command to ping directly to that computer.

If you do not know about its name try to use IP SCANNER.[^]

I.m trying to get Norton Firewall 9.1.0.33 to see two PCs on a LAN on a friends PC. I did have it working last year, but it has now 'stopped' working, obviously my fault!
The problem is that if I set up the Trusted Zone, both PCs see each other, if I then reboot then the PCs can't see each other. If I change the Trusted Zone, and then put it back to what it was it works. Surfing the Net I can't find any sensible reasons/fixes for
this, so any suggestions?
Some detail on what I have done in detail
- Set Trusted Zone range to 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs see each other
- Change Trusted Zone to 192.168.100.100 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs can't see each other, as expected.
- Set Trusted Zone range to 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs see each other
- Reboot, PCs can't see each other.
The best solution I have seem it to get rid of Norton, but that would be too easy!
My current best guess is an auto update has changed something, or my friend has screwed it up, but that is probably beyond his skill level.

Thanks but I thought Norton == Symantec?

You are right. I'm not sure how I got that link from Symantec's site. Try here instead.

Thanks, support was going to be my last resort, that is a good link, I was hoping some one here has seen this before.
