Hi there,
I've created an application that use ComPlus distribution (Client/Server Application). When I connect to a PC with windows firewall it ask me if I want to unlock the program accessing the network. Once I’ve unlock the program it creates a 'Com Surrogate' acception in the firewall settings. My problem is that if I delete that acception the Windows Security Alert dialog box does not pop up again when I try to connect to that PC, and the client PC obvious give me an 'Remote Server Machine does not exists' error. How can I get the firewall to ask me if I want to unlock the program again?
Thanks, Werries

Goto Windows Security Center -> Firewall -> Exceptions and delete the correct Program/Service from the list.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

I did remove it from the exceptions list, and that is my issue, why doesnt the Windows Firewall Unlock dialog box pop up again?

It doesn't show you dialog again, because you created rule (disable your application). If you removed this rule from firewall rules list, it would ask you.

I have a LAN in which a machine,say X, has some shared folders to 'everyone'.
Also the machine X is password protected.
Is there a way to access all the folders of such a password protected machine on a local area network..?
Can anyone help .....
If there is no password on the machine , then all the folders can be accessed using "\\MachineName\c$"
But is there a way to access the password protected machine ?
|
|
|
|
|
the machine is password protected means it is locked by password ?.. if so ... u can access the share if u have rights to access it.

Ya the machine is locked by password...
Thats what I want to know whether I can access a machines folders although I have not been given the rights to access them ??
|

If you haven't been given access rights, then strangely enough you can't access them :P
Wierd that

So u too keep searching for the hidden treasure

If you don't have access rights to a folder then you can't access it!
There isn't any trick to bypass the checks otherwise most other security in the OS would be useless, you'd be able to change any file you wanted.
Some accounts (such as the administrator) automatically have access rights but thats not a trick ... thats just having the correct access rights.

You can still use the admin shares (driveletter$) when the user has a password set, it just means when you try to access it you'll be asked to authenticate.
This is why you should always use a password, otherwise anyone can access your files.
You can't access the admin shares without authenticating, the point is it's supposed to be secure :P

Agreed that I can still access the folders using admin shares (driveletter$)..If there is a password , I will be asked to enter the password ..
But I want to know - - Is there a way to access the resources of a password protected machine although I have not been given the rights to access them ...neither do I know the password ..
|

|

No, there isn't. There is no "trick", other than having an account that has the correct permissions.

The simple answer is NO.

You can't really 'run' a folder as such, so it won't work in quite the same way. I'd say you'd need to do one of two things:
1) Write a context menu shell extension in your language of choice. Google for "context menu shell extension" and there should be loads of help.
2) This is a cowboy approach. Create a vbscript to do the job for you. Put this in it:
<br />
'grab the username<br />
sUsername = InputBox("Enter Username")<br />
'create a shell command object<br />
set oCmd = createobject("Wscript.Shell")<br />
'Build the runas string passing the folder name to explorer.exe<br />
sCmd = "runas /u:" & sUsername & " " & chr(34) & "explorer " & wscript.arguments(0) & chr(34)<br />
'Run the command<br />
oCmd.run sCmd<br />
Save it in your c:\documents and settings\%username%\sendto folder (show hidden files and folders to see this folder). Now when you right-click the folder, you should see your script under the 'Send To' context menu. If you select it, you'll get an inputbox prompt for the username, a dos prompt for the password, and it should open the folder using that user's credentials for you. It's a messy lash, but it works.

In Firefox, you can go Tools-Options-Security-Show Passwords. Not sure about Netscape.

Hi MelMal,
Also, the folks at Yahoo may be able to help (if you can get in touch with them).

Some applications, like One Care, System Save Point, System Restore, only work if you
are logged in as Administrator.
I have a user ID set up with all permissions (Vista Ultimate), and the above
applications lock the machine until you pull the power plug.
Yeah, it's that bad.

It's a stretch, but you might try disabling UAC -- I've seen the UAC "allow this program to..." freeze up some computers...
Good luck!

VS.NET 2005 is one of many applications that appear to not be cancellable.
I have even tried to kill it from the task manager.

I have an data-acquisition application in which data-logging is performed constantly and data is stored in a CF Card, which acts as the primary data-storage device for the system.
The Windows CE image that i have loaded has support for automatic detection of USB mass storage devices.
The User can retrive the data from the system (CF Card) thru USB Drive.
There is no screen or console , it is an industrial Controller.
The data acquistion goes on constantly , and the application periodically polls the USB slot to see if the user has inserted any USB Drive in it.
For this, i use the standard CreateFile() function in order to detect if the user has inserted USB Pen Drive into USB slot or not. I get the handle to the device using CreateFile(), is user has inserted it. If he has, then all reqd. data from the CF Card is copied to the USB drive.
if ((hFile=CreateFile(_TEXT"DSK2:",GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL))!=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{Do further processing}
NOTE: Here DSK2: is the disk number of the Pen Drive
Whenever the user insertes the USB Drive, the OS detects this, and CreateFile function therefore returns successfully with the USB dive handle. Thus, USB Drive is detected.
Now, the problem is that sometimes, although the Pen Drive is inserted, it is not detected by the OS, whearas at other times it is. That is, in the Windows Explorer, where I can see the CF Card mounted as "Hard Disk" and USB Pen Drive as "Hard Disk2", sometimes, this "Hard Disk2" is not seen. It leads me to the conclusion that the USB Dive is not mounted by the Windows Device Manager. Even if i remove the Pen Drive and re-insert it, it will not be detected hence-forth , once it is not detected. I don't know how to make the OS detect it then , the only way i know is rebooting the system. (Which is definetely not the solution!!)
What can possibly be causing this irregular behavior?
At such times, I cannot obtain a handle to the device using CreateFile. Is there any alternate way to obtain access to the USB device, rather than relying on Windows OS, and the Device Manager??
I have also completely checked the hardware, to verify that there is no problem on hardware side, no loose connections etc. Another important point is that the LED on the USB Pen Drive always glows when I insert the Pen Drive, even when it is not detected by Windows CE.
Regards,
CR
