What is the recommended approach to determining whether a UNC path
contains a DFS link? I need to find the underlying server and volume
for the purposes of modifying volume quotas.

TIA, John

I have the following problem on my vaio laptop using XP OS.

If the system is connected to the network using dhcp it gets the IP,
DNS and standard route. Everything looks proper.

But not resolver (name resolving) is working on BlueTooth (Handy) and
Ethernet. Only if it is connected over WLAN then domain-name resolving
works fine.

But independent from the device nslookup works. But all services http,
ssh, telnet eg. does not be able to resolve any domain.

A second problem which possible was appearing with that problem I
described before is, that the Windows Update is not longer working. I
get always the error message [Fehlernummer: 0x8024402C]. I tried the
hints on the internet as also the public Microsoft support, nothing
has solved this problem.

All hints ar welcome
Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I asked this question in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 but
collected only one response. Here's I'll ask it slightly different,
can I open an IPv6 socket and receive connections from IPv4 hosts? If
so, how is this set up?

Hi,

I am using pipes to communicate between threads in my code which was
written for linux. Pipes were used there as the thread was waiting on
select from other sockets and it was made to wait on this pipe also
using the same select call. But, now when I try to port the code to
windows, windows pipes behave like files doesn't allow any ioctl
action to make it non-blocking and neither does it allow to be used in
the select call.

Is there any mechanism available in windows to emulate functionality
of pipes of linux?

I thought of replacing the pipes part with sockets/named-pipes, but
both sockets as well as named-pipes need a server side and client
side, but whereas pipes on creation, make two ends (read / write)
available.

Any pointers to this will help.

Thanks in advance!
