But I find it pathetic at times. Sometimes when the attachments are huge, it rejects them. Sometimes I manage to send them after zipping. The file size does not matter. It might send a 5 MB attachment without hassles but will then reject a 2 MB attachment. I believe certain kinds of files actually manage to crash the thread. What would be an alternatice SMTP choice for me? Free ones preferred!

Why don't you use your ISP's SMTP server? Have you looked at http://www.tucows.com. Do a search for SMTP server, it might have something you can use. You could always try Exchange 2000 Michael Re: Win 2000 SMTP Nish Nishant27-Feb-02 18:38 Nish Nishant 27-Feb-02 18:38  Michael P Butler wrote: Why don't you use your ISP's SMTP server?

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.

I'll try it out later. Thanks. Now to download those GUI tools.

Jon Sagara What about ?

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 Nish My most recent CP article :- A newbie's elementary guide to spawning processes www.busterboy.org Re: Win 2000 SMTP Jon Sagara27-Feb-02 19:11 Jon Sagara 27-Feb-02 19:11  Weird.

Re: Restart computer from batch file Gavin Taylor25-Feb-02 7:26 Gavin Taylor 25-Feb-02 7:26  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.

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 Coremn --- Re: Logging into WinNT over network cdehelean27-Feb-02 4:34 cdehelean 27-Feb-02 4:34  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. Red Hat Linux 6.2 With AMD Gavin Taylor23-Feb-02 1:14 Gavin Taylor 23-Feb-02 1:14  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 ).

Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavintaylor.co.uk Interactive batch in Windows NT Dave Midgley19-Feb-02 23:47 Dave Midgley 19-Feb-02 23:47  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 Re: Interactive batch in Windows NT Garth J Lancaster28-Feb-02 12:52 Garth J Lancaster 28-Feb-02 12:52  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 ... hth Garth Re: Interactive batch in Windows NT Dave Midgley28-Feb-02 22:56 Dave Midgley 28-Feb-02 22:56  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. Dave Dave CD Probs Matt Newman18-Feb-02 16:58 Matt Newman 18-Feb-02 16:58  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. - Matt Newman -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman Frankly AOL should stick to what it does best: Fooling millions of americans into believing that it, AOL, is the web. -Paul Watson Re: CD Probs Jeremy Falcon20-Feb-02 3:55 Jeremy Falcon 20-Feb-02 3:55  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. Jeremy L. Falcon "The One Who Said, 'The One Who Said...'"
