I had the same problem. I spent weeks playing with various other servers and decided that XMail was probobly best. You can download it at:
http://www.xmailserver.org
The server is a little fiddly to setup the basics but it doe's everything i can think off.
Hint: download the additional GUI based admin tools they make basic admin much easier.

You can turn off the size restriction, or you can just increase it.

It's not a size related problem.
I can send a 5 MB file with no problems.
But sometimes a 2 MB file might not go through.
If it is a size problem I'd have got some message like, "The smtp server has rejected the message or something"
Here, my error is something like the "smtp server has stopped responding" or something like that

Weird. I've never had a problem with it. Did it just start happening, or has it always done that?

I just discovered my size limit per mail was 2 MB and per session was 10MB.
But I distinctly remember mailing 5+ MB mp3 files across our local intranet!!!

How can I restart Win2000 computer from batch file/command line?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't remember ever seeing any direct way of it - however if you check out http://www.gavintaylor.co.uk/downloads you should find at the bottom of the page a file called 'Reboot', run this from the command line / batch file and it will reboot the workstation / server. I use it all the time for updates on live servers using the NT scheduler.

These should still work:
- rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
- rundll32.exe user.exe,restartwindows
- rundll32.exe user.exe,exitwindows

Does anyone know if it is possible to login to a winNT box from over a network. I.E the other computer is at its login screen.
Standard screen sharing programs cannot be used as I think they require a server to be running on the unlogged in machine.
Thanks

You'll just need to download the free VNC server from
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html
and configure it to run as service. It offers some basic functionality regarding login at a WinNT computer.

I finally got around to taking the skink wrap off my copy of Red Hat Linux 6.2 the other, walked through the installer OK and rebooted the machine. The OS begins to start, detects the processor correctly and tries to disable the CPU ID and promptly GPFs.
Just wandering if anybody else has encountered the same problem - if so is there a way around it...?
The machine is know to work ( Running Win2k Server and XP for months without fault ).
Motherboard : ASUS A7V running latest BIOS.

I'm trying to make an interactive batch file (.cmd) to run under Windows NT. The obvious way is to have a program that displays a prompt and sets an environment variable with the response, however
1) using _setenv (I'm in C/C++ here) only alters the environment for the current program, so the batch file that ran the program does not see them; conversely
2) altering the registry where the environment variables are kept (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment etc.) has no effect until a new DOS shell is started, so the batch file that ran the program does not see them;
3) the old DOS method of getting the PSP and walking up the environment areas isn't allowed under NT (and there's never enough space in the environment area anyway);
If anyone knows how to write a program that can do this, or any other way of making a batch file intercative, I'd love to hear about it.
(PS I know that using VBS or some other scripting language is the right way to go, but I need this to run on any NT Server machine, and the CMD processor seems to be the only scripting engine that is guaranteed to be available)
Thanks
Dave

Dave - I dont know if you've since found a solution (or if Ive understood the problem), but here's my $AUD 0.02c worth (probably not worth much in other currencies)
I would start with :-
http://www.pgh.net/~newcomer/processes.htm
or
http://www.pgh.net/~newcomer/process.htm
or go to http://www.pgh.net/~newcomer/mvp_tips.htm and look for 'asynchronous process notification'
these solve the problem of starting (for example) a batch file and reading the console output back into a listbox etc ..
from there, the listbox could be parsed looking for certain triggers etc, to get the results.. 'Franky Braem' also has an article on Codeproject entitled 'Redirect' which could be used as a starting point.
If thats not what you want 100%, then how about creating a console window using one of the above techniques, and reading (much like screen scraping from it) directly - I have seen examples on doing this, but cant find any to hand right now ...

Thanks Garth, but either you've misunderstood the question or I've misunderstood the answer.
Basically all I want is a way of putting user interaction into a batch file, such that the user is prompted to enter values which can then be used by subsequent operations in the batch file (ie. passed to other programs as parameters, used in IF constructs, etc.).
There is(are) no Windows/windows involved here at all (except for the DOS box that the user runs the batch file in).
Thanks for trying anyway.

I have a Win 95 IBM with an AMD proc. All of a sudden the computer doesn't think the CD drive is connected anymore (it is I checked it). Is there any easy way to fix this (I have dried different drives) without replacing the mobo? I seem to think there was a software problem that caused that in 95 but can't remember for sure. Thans if you can help.

First, make sure the BIOS recognizes the drive during POST. If you see a logo instead of messages, you'll need to enter the BIOS setup to verify this. The exact way to do this differs from system to system. If you don't know, try hitting either F1, F2, DEL, CTL+ESC, CTL+BACKSPACE, etc. right after you hear the beep. If the BIOS doesn't recogize it then it's not a problem in Windows.
If the power led on the CD-ROM is constantly on, then chances are it's plugged in backwards. In this case, make sure you have pin 1 lined up correctly on the cable to the HDD (look for the pink strip) and from the mother board. If the power led doesn't come on at all, try a different power plug.
If none of that works, then plug everything in, and start Windows. Make sure you have the folder C:\WINDOWS\Options\Cabs (if it's an OEM install you should). There should be at least 70 something cab files in there. If there are, then go to the device manager and remove your CD-ROM drive(s) and channel controlers (IDE??) for the mother board. Restart Windows so it'll reinstall the drivers it's using.
If it still doesn't happen for ya, you're pretty screwed.

I'll try this.

I tried this but I think it is a hardware problem and the comp is like 8 or 9 years old so I don't want to lose it but don't want to spend alot of money

The bios recognizes it is connected and the driver thing doesn't work but I going to check some jumper settings.

is it possible to transmit only first 5 bits of a character through RS232.
The problem is:
For example the binary equivalent of 'U' is 0101 0101. I want to transmit only last five bits (i.e) 10101. I tried this by setting databits to 5 and stopbits to 1 or 2.but i am getting 0001 0101. i observed this on CRO.
can you please suggest the solution. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
