<play2win> hey
<play2win> that sfc scan did the trick
<play2win> just wanted to say thanks
<CJDeak> Of course it did.
<play2win> but...
<play2win> if i had some corrupted files, does that mean that my whole installation may have been corrupted
<CJDeak> No.
<play2win> and i'll have problems down the road?
<CJDeak> you didn't have corrupted files
<CJDeak> just some backups missing
<play2win> but it wouldn't be "normal" that they were missing right?
<CJDeak> no, that's NORMAL.
<play2win> maybe windows would have put them there later :)
<CJDeak> Every XP load is different.
<play2win> wacky
<play2win> well thanks anyways
<Ta1oN> it isn't normal, no
<Ta1oN> what xp does, is it makes sure that only original and/or certified system files get installed
<Ta1oN> and normally nothing can circumvent that, except if it does that inetionally!
<Ta1oN> so i guess you installed some application that did this to you
<Ta1oN> try thinking about the things you did after the xp installation
<play2win> i only installed hardware drivers
<play2win> but i suppose its possible
<play2win> still...
<Ta1oN> sfc should have gotten rid of the problem though
<play2win> i'm going to disable automatic sfc once the system stabalizes
<Ta1oN> as long as nothing suspicious is running in the background, you should be fine
<Ta1oN> you should never do that!
<Ta1oN> sfp is the thing that made 2k and xp so much more stable than 95/98/me
<play2win> well i like to customize icons
<Ta1oN> disabling it would be very dumb
<play2win> i'm not sure there is a way to customize icons without disabling it...
<Ta1oN> you just invite all kind of viruses, crappy software and system problems if you do that
<play2win> i do very limited downloading on this machine
<Ta1oN> if some customized icons is worth the risk, your problem then
<CJDeak> I disabled system restore, but I use Acronis TrueImage.
<play2win> once i have everythign i need
<Ta1oN> we are not talking about system restore, CJDeak
<CJDeak> I know, Ta1on.
<Azs> he just had to babble
<Azs> ignore him
<Ta1oN> heh
<play2win> you know what would really be nice
<play2win> if i could certify my customized shell32.dll file as an "official" file, subject to backups and replacements
<play2win> then i could keep sfc and still customize
<Ta1oN> you can... send it in to microsoft along with your money
<Ta1oN> and then hope that it suffices teh win32 dll standards for systemfiles
<play2win> how much you think they charge?
<Ta1oN> if it does, it will get certified
<play2win> you serious?
<play2win> hrmm
<Azs> until they catch you usimg it on a pirated version
<play2win> so i could switch that shell32.dll file for another and windows won't delete it?
<Ta1oN> !google driver certification site:microsoft.com
<CyberGeek> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vsent7/html/vxconBestPracticesForReliability.asp
<play2win> wow
<play2win> hey thanks very much!
<Ta1oN> !google file certification site:microsoft.com
<CyberGeek> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcedsn40/html/cmrefOEMCertifyModule.asp
<uncaged> how do you turn on the ping server?
<play2win> never been here before...
<Ta1oN> yeah, you could make a unattended setup cd
<Azs> drop a quarter in the slot
<Ta1oN> that would enable you to include your own dll as an oem file
<Ta1oN> which then means that your windows installation will accept it as original, even without certification
<Ta1oN> uncaged, what is a "ping server"? O.o
<Ta1oN> you want a server that constantly pings other computers, or what?
<uncaged> so I can ping that machine from another on the LAN
<Ta1oN> lol, that is no server functionallity
<CJDeak> Just go to start>run type CMD
<Ta1oN> jsut allow icmp echo requests and echo replies in your firewall
<CJDeak> and then type ping <ip address>
<play2win> would i have to reinstall windows/
<uncaged> CJDeak: that's pinging, not getting pinged
<play2win> i really just want to swap out the file
<CJDeak> Oh, okay, I thought you meant you wanted to ping a machine over teh LAN.
<Azs> [17:13] <uncaged> so I can ping that machine from another on the LAN << and this IS ?
<Ta1oN> uncaged, what firewall do you use?
<uncaged> McAfee
<Ta1oN> then read up in the mcafee help
<CJDeak> Uncaged wants to "ping a machine from another machine" but he doesn't want to use PING.
<uncaged> uh, yes I do
<Ta1oN> read how you can allow "icmp echo requests"
<Ta1oN> that is what you need to do
<Ta1oN> or call mcafee support, or look in there forums
<Ta1oN> or just stop using it completely and switch to windows firewall, there i could tell you how to allow it :P
<uncaged> ah, that worked!
<uncaged> was the firewall
<[Raptor]> Mmmm chicken & brocolli casarole
<Corkster> [Raptor]: thats even healthy
<[Raptor]> finger lickin' good too
<Corkster> yeah them midgets are great
<[Raptor]> you know it brotha
<Corkster> I had roast beef carrots and taters
<[Raptor]> taters is good
<Azs> chinese in a can mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<uncaged> I've got 2 virtual machines on my computer that need to talk to each other over port 80. One's running XP Pro and the other 2003 Enterprise Server. What do I need to do in Windows Firewall's settings to allow that?
<TaJMoX> um..dont use windows firewall?
<Phiber0pt> your in a virtual machine....
<Phiber0pt> why even bother?
<TaJMoX> for compatability with 3rd party software i'd ***umne
<Ta1oN> and even if you bother, just allow port 80 on the server machine?
<Ta1oN> nothing more to do with windows firewall
<Ta1oN> just allow the port you need on the machine which is the server
<bop1> any idea how can i send rpc commands ?
<Ta1oN> first, learn and understand what rpc is and how it works
<Ta1oN> then think again about your question
<whoop> hehe
<whoop> Ta1oN laying the smack down
<relisys-> anyone know why when i run automatic update it doesn't find sp2 as a required update
<relisys-> but i dont have it
<Drawde> how do i make my printer automatically collate? (ie print last page first)
<whoop> you need to approve sps
<whoop> er
<whoop> i mean there are requirement before automatic will detect
<relisys-> so im prolly not meeting them whatever they are?
<relisys-> n/m i found where to d/l it manually
<relisys-> damn 275 mb?
<relisys-> wow
<bop1> Ta1oN ?
<Ta1oN> yes?
<bop1> i know what rpc is, i wrote my own msrpc over CIFS clients. im asking how can i do it in windows
<bop1> which client do i have to call various rpc services
<bop1> other than rpcclient, which is a part of the samba package
<bop1> im sure windows has its own builtin clients
<Ta1oN> there are many things using rpc calls in windows
<Ta1oN> in fact, the whole operating system builds around rpc
<bop1> say i want to shutdown using a namedpipe
<bop1> how can i do it
<Ta1oN> if you want programatically information about it, go to msdn.microsoft.com
<Ta1oN> just to shutdown, use shutdown.exe, or wmic
<Ta1oN> wmic goes over rpc for example
<bop1> no, im done with the programming aspect of it. :)
<bop1> Ta1oN remotely i meant
<Ta1oN> yes, i talked about remotely
<bop1> using namedpipes
<Ta1oN> learn wmi
<Ta1oN> but for shutdown, you would not even need wmi
<Ta1oN> shutdown -s -t 0 -m \\computername
<Ta1oN> does the job
<bop1> shutdown.exe is fine yea, but that was just an example. say i want to use the 'autodetect' function of uPnP
<bop1> do u know of an rpc client to do it?
<Ta1oN> again, learn wmi
<Ta1oN> WMI
<Ta1oN> *WMI*
<bop1> can you give me link?
<Ta1oN> !google wmi site:msdn.microsoft.com
<CyberGeek> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_reference.asp
<Ta1oN> !google scripcenter site:microsoft.com
