    Reconnecting sockets

    Hi. I'm using the Socket class in a network client application to make TCP connections. I create the socket, bind it to the local endpoint and use the Connect method to start the connection. When disconnecting, I use the following code: <SocketObject>.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both)...

    Routing through VPN tunnel

    It would be great if I could direct broadcast. However, there are some office applications as well as some games that broadcast to 255.255.255.255 by design and I can't change it. The strange thing now is this: WHY am I not able to add a route for 255.255.255.255/32 through 10.0.0.2? It would...

    Routing through VPN tunnel

    I think it is broadcast in this case, so the destination address would be 255.255.255.255/32, but as I said, Windows won't let me add a route for this address, although one exists: 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1 is the LAN address: obviously Windows is routing...

    Routing through VPN tunnel

    Weel, I don't want to mess up with certificates and security, but just to have two simple LANs working together. I had ALREADY estabilished the tunnel, now I must overcome some routing issues. Multicast traffic is directed to 255.255.255.255, but Windows does not want me to add a route for this...

    Routing through VPN tunnel

    YES, I was finally able to figure it out. Since the RRAS server is a point-multipoint interface, I need to route through the next hop on the connection, not through the local interface. route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 (on the VPN client - works fine) route add 192.168.2.0...

    Routing through VPN tunnel

    Please help me: this problem is driving me crazy. I have two subnets: 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 connected through a pubblic WAN. I successfully enstabilished a VPN tunnel between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1. Virtual addresses are the following: 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.1 VPN...

    WinXP: two different LANs joined thourgh VPN tunnel

    Hello everyone. My problem is the following: I have two LANs addressed the following way: Address: 1.50.117.0 1.29.95.0 Mask: 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 (don't worry about the non-standard LAN IPs: both LANs are part of a fiber-optic WAN connected to...

    Accepting multiple connections on the same interface

    Too bad... I can't installa 2k or .NET server on my home workstation. Looks like a shame to me: XP is such a good system and this limitation has no reason to exist. Ok, never mind. Do you know of a third-party software that can accomplish multiple incoming connections of the same type? Thanks.

    Accepting multiple connections on the same interface

    I successfully set up a VPN server with Windows XP SP1 built-in RAS and RRAS services. What I want now is to let multiple clients (up to three/four) to connect to my VPN server. The strange thing is that, when there is already a user connected, all other clients won't connect and are presented...

    Individual service settings

    Through the MMC (Microsoft Managemente Console) I can start and stop services and change their startup type. However there seems to be no way I can individually configure a service's settings (say, the ports and number of connections provided by the RAS service). I tried searching in the MMC...

    Routing and Remote Access Service does not start!

    This problem is driving me mad: my Windows XP Pro machine works perfectly, except for this thing. I was trying to set up an incoming VPN connection (thing I have already done on a friend's PC), but I was unable to proceed because the Routing and Remote Access service (aka RRAS) does not start...

    Converting a Unicode string to ANSI

    I had already tried using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII class. The problem with that is that it converts the script to 7-bit (aka Standard) ASCII, and not to 8-bit (aka Extended) ASCII. For instance, standard alphanumerical characters are converted, but characters such as &quot;è&quot; or...

    Converting a Unicode string to ANSI

    As you know, VB.NET strings are Unicode by default (2-byte, 16-bit characters). I need to send messages to a remote server and it strictly requires me to send single-byte ANSI strings. Is there a way in .NET to automatically convert the strings to ANSI or do I need to strip the even bytes out...

    Windows XP skins

    How can I tell Windows XP to skin my application's forms using its own skinning engine? I would like my application tu use the same control skins used in the Aqua interface. Thanks!
