Using the GamerServices component for XNA to access Xbox/GfW Live for networking purposes requires developers and players each to have a US$100/year subscription to Microsoft's Creators Club. That's not much of an issue for Xbox360 XNA projects as you need the subscription anyway to be able to put your game on the 360. But for PC games ...
I've had a bug in our software that occurs when I receive a connection timeout. These errors are very rare (usually when my connection gets dropped by our internal network). How can I generate this kind of effect artificially so I can test our software? If it matters the app is written in C++/MFC using CAsyncSocket classes. Edit: I'v...
(best in your own eyes) Most features? Coolest Features? Slickest Design? Centreon? NagVis? Other? ...
On the PC there are several programs that will show you your bandwidth usage on a per process or per program basis. Is there anyway of doing something similar on the Mac? ...
Greetings, I want to be able to figure out what port a particular program is using. Are there any programs available online or that come with windows that will tell me which processes are using which ports on my computer? PS - before you downmod this for not being a programming question, I'm looking for the program to test some networ...
Greetings, I need a way (either via C# or in a .bat file) to get a list of all the computers on a given network. Normally, I use "net view", but this tends to work (from my understanding) only within your domain. I need the names (or at least the IP Addresses) of all computers available on my network. Being able to get all compute...
Is there a way to read a locked file across a network given that you are the machine admin on the remote machine? I haven't been able to read the locked file locally, and attempting it over the network adds another layer of difficulty. ...
From my understanding the XMPP protocol is based on an always-on connection where you have no, immediate, indication of when an XML message ends. This means you have to evaluate the stream as it comes. This also means that, probably, you have to deal with asynchronous connections since the socket can block in the middle of an XML messa...
What are some good ways to do this? Is it even possible to do cleanly? Ideally I'd like to use packet headers to decide which server should handle requests. However, if there is an easier/better way let me know. ...
Does anyone know of any problems with using WCF to expose a SOAP interface for non .NET clients? For example incompatibilities with other SOAP libraries? This is so that the SOAP interface can be exposed for third parties to integrate with our software. ...
I'm looking for a Windows network emulator that can emulate the packet-loss & latency characteristics of a 3G wireless network. I used to use a tool from GIPs that has been end-of-life'd. I've also tried Shunra Virtual Enterprise but found it a bit too basic ...
I haven't done work in C/C++ for a little bit and was just wondering what people's favorite cross platform libraries are to use. I'm looking for something that is a good quick and dirty library as well as a library that is a little more robust. Often those are two different libraries and that's okay. ...
Hi I have a TCP server that is listening on a particular interface only. I want that after the accept() call if the incoming connection was from xxx.xxx.xxx.0 subnet then the data should go through intf1 otherwise the data should be sent through intf2 which is where my server is listening. Both the interfaces have the same route setti...
I am presently running several websites and a mail server from my home network. I have a business DSL account with 8 public IP addresses (1 by itself, and 7 in a block). To handle routing/firewall/gateway, I am presently using RRAS, DNS, & DHCP from Windows 2003 running on a ancient (circa 2001) PC -- which I suspect is going to fail a...
See title. Is this a bad idea? So everyone knows, and I don't see how this mattered, we've paid for a windows dedicated box and we have existing IIS apps. We just wanted to use a PHP based CMS which installs easier on apache (since it has some dependencies). So, as the title indicated, windows, apache, php, and mysql are requirements. ...
System.IO.BinaryReader reads values in a little-endian format. I have a C# application connecting to a proprietary networking library on the server side. The server-side sends everything down in network byte order, as one would expect, but I find that dealing with this on the client side is awkward, particularly for unsigned values. U...
I need to install amp on a windows2003 production server. I'd like, if possible, an integrated install/management tool so I don't have to install/integrate the components of amp separately. Those that I've found are 'development' servers. Are there any packages out there that install amp in a production ready (locked down state)? I'm aw...
Are there any libraries, (third party is fine) that can help do network auto-disovery using SNMP and .NET? If not, have you ever rolled your own? ...
When developing an app that will listen on a TCP/IP port, how should one go about selecting a default port? Assume that this app will be installed on many computers, and that avoiding port conflicts is desired. ...
I'm trying to confirm a user a unplugged my embedded device from a network before performing some maintenance. I'm considering "ping"ing all IP address on my sub-net, but that sounds crude. Is there a broadcast/ARP method that might work better? ...
