Franklin, HPNA is designed to be run on the same home wiring with DSL, I think it runs a either a higher or lower frequency band. There is a device called a microfilter which can be used if necessary. This is a vague answer I know, but I have done this so I know it works. There is definitely...

Guys, Thanks for the info. I will check out the listed sites. I have learned that DC sytems use a separate earth ground, and it seems like AC systems simlpy rely on the ground lead from the AC line. I don't know if most data centers, etc are using AC or DC powered systems - I'm thinking DC is...

Folks, I'm looking for standards/best practices for grounding in e.g. server farms, etc. Wondering if there are any standards are other documents that would typically be followed in setting up such a facility. Basically, if I'm setting up such a facility, or having such a facility set up, what...

Folks, Can anyone help me understand the how and when a virtual template gets applied to a virtual access, when we are dealing with MLPPP over ISDN BRI? It seems that I do not need to explicitly config a virtual template, I will still get a virtual access when the MLPPP comes up. It seems like...

Folks, In my config, I've got a BRI with multilink PPP. Also I'm running class-based weighted fair queuing on this as well. What I cannot figure out, is which of the interfaces i need to look at in order to get packet statistics. The way it is configured, the MLPPP can have calls initiated...

Help I need to a way to get the windows product id programmatically. Seems this is stored in different areas of the registry in windows 95 than in NT and 2000. Is there some MS provided function that will give me this info? What I'm trying to do is to get some piece of unique info to identify...

All, Is there an MicroSoft provided method of licensing applications developed with VB? I know there are some commercial packages, but I don't know if there is some MS provided, MS standard, or MS recommended way of doing this. Basically I'm looking to be able to distribute demo copies of the...

Thanks for the help on the OSPF questions - this to me raises a few additional questions. 1. An ethernet LAN is certainly multiaccess, but what about when there is nothing on this LAN but 2 routers, with a 30 bit mask. While the medium is multiaccess, the topology is point to point. Does the...

Hi all, I am maintaining some VB app which uses an inhouse developed activex control. Some (very few) of my users are getting runtime errors such as 372, 374, etc. The control was included in the app just by having a project group with the app and the cotnrol projects, and by dragging and...

Thanks - this to me raises a few additional questions. 1. An ethernet LAN is certainly multiaccess, but what about when there is nothing on this LAN but 2 routers, with a 30 bit mask. While the medium is multiaccess, the topology is point to point. Does the medium or the topology decide...

Hi, The problem has to do with compatibility. If we check the properties of the control's project you will see that there are several choices for compatibility: None, binary, and something else. These actually control when the control gets a new CLSID. Not sure of all the nuances, but "no...

I have a single area and am running OSPF. Are all networks expected to have their own entry in the link-state database? If not, what is the criteria for having one, and also what is the impact if a given network does not have its own entry. In my case I've got some connections between routers...

Don't know if you need the specific calls or just the names of the DLLs it makes calls to. For the latter can tell you there is some tool at www.codestone.co.uk, you point it at the ocx file and it tells you among other things the DLLs it depends upon. I'm sure there's a lot of other tools that...

Sedrisco, this is a good question. Everything I have read insists that ActiveX controls are self-registering, and the app using them only needs the file name and location, and calls DLLRegisterServer() using the path and filename. The OCX only gets registered at this point, not before. If this...

Hi all, I was wondering where I could find descriptions of the current best practices regarding forward compatibility in VB applications. Another way to put this question could be "How can I ensure when building and packaging my applications that a new service pack is not going to come...
