I choose to develop this application on .NET. Please indicates me if there is any APIs for that purpose or any ideas that can help me to begin. If you su...
How can I know which machines are alive on the same LAN as my PC using ASP.NET? ...
You'll have to pardon me as I wasn't sure where to place this. This overlaps in the areas of C# Web Services and Network/Security management I suppose. I have a server that runs various web applications. One of them is a web service. The account everything runs under is a local account on the machine. It is not a domain account. I don't...
I've recently come into a web development position with a company who just lost their server/network admin. Though I was hired for web development, I'm being asked to do some routine maintenance tasks on the server that I'm nonetheless having trouble with, having no background in this sort of stuff. It doesn't help that we've lost all co...
I've designed an MVC that doesn't allow communication between Views (forms). If a form needs to communicate with another form, it raise an event on the controller, which other forms can subscribe to. The general idea is to keep paths of communication to a minimum, helping keep complexity down. Each View communicates with the RootContr...
I'm trying to do some Windows Mobile dev in VS2008. The WM app is making a WCF call (or trying to). The emulator and my WCF server are running on the same desktop PC. I found some details about how to configure the network card on the WM5 emulator in conjunction with Virtual PC2007. This does allow me to now surf the net view the emulat...
Assume a listening socket on localhost:80 and a client connecting using: telnet localhost 80 The problem is that I want only to accept a limited number of concurrent clients, assume only one. After that I simply don't accept any. The problem that I saw using: netstat -a is that next client connection was established. Yes I don't proce...
I am planning to create a site that provides several games for self written game-agents. There will be a Tic-Tac-Toe for example (and some more complex games of course). Programmers can register their agents and from time to time there will be a tournament. The gameserver will contact the registered agents, present the board and ask for...
Let's say that I have an application running on Windows XP that is "launched" from a mapped network drive. When a page fault is triggered by the execution of this application and a code page needs to be read from disk, assuming it's not in the pagefile, will Windows go out to the mapped network share to read the necessary code page in f...
I am trying to build an application that can request files from a service running on another machine in the network. These files can be fairly large (500mb + at times). I was looking into sending it via TCP but I'm worried that it may require that the entire file be stored in memory. There will probably only be one client. Copying to a...
What is the most bandwidth efficient way to unidirectionally synchronise a list of data from one server to many clients? I have sizeable chunk of data (perhaps 20,000, 50-byte records) which I need to periodically synchronise to a series of clients over the Internet (perhaps 10,000 clients). Records may added, removed or updated only at...
If I simply point to both in my DNS record, wouldn't 50% of traffic be in trouble as well? ...
Okay this is a real headscratcher. I have an application which calls a web service. It is a valid web service that pulls some data from a SQL server db, whacks it into an XML document and returns it to the Winforms app for processing. This works fine in debug. It fails when you run it normally but it does so returning specific data th...
I want to have some work done on the Network front, pinging numerous computers on a LAN and retrieving data about the response time. Which would be the most useful and productive to work with: Perl or Python? ...
Hi all, There are currently 5 developers on my team and we all access a repository through a shared drive on computer X which is on our network. Since we all have access to computer X, and we can manage who has and who doesn't have access to computer X, we can manage who can access our repository. My question is this: If I set up a ...

Is it possible to set up a folder on a remote Mac disk (in this case a Time Capsule) as a "network share"? I don't see anything in the Airport Utility to do this. The root directory seems to be a share, but I need a sub-directory to also be a share. The background to this is that I have a Sonos audio system that can use local network ...
I recently started attending two classes in school that focus on networking, one regarding distributed systems and another regarding computer networks in general. After completing the first labs for the two classes, I now have a pretty good understand of network protocol and socket concepts with both C and Java. Now I'm trying to move b...
I have run into a few cases where i have been asked to deploy an application (C#, .Net 2.0) to a server and users need to test the application over the network. I have found the following that works with out any hitches other than a warning telling you "hey your running this over a network are you sure you want to do this?": %systemroot...
