Windows networking

7 New Member
Up until now, ive done all my C++/C programing on linux. I'd like to write a small chat type program for a friend of mine. I understand windows networking in C/C++ is slightly different. Does anyone know of any good website/tutorials or simple networking examples, that would highlight the differences for me?

I havent really tried or read much about it yet, but from what i understand, the main difference is just that you import some different files to create your sockets? Am I way off in that?

Hi, I am trying to write a VB program to detect the Dial Up Networking window in WinXP. For instance, everytime when i launch my Internet Explorer, the default MS windows Dial Up Networking will pop up and start dialling to my ISP. I wanted to write a program to detect that "Dial up needs" and then launch my own dialup application, instead of using the Windows default DUN.

I have Oracle 9 running on a Linux RedHat Box V9.0. But I'm having trouble connecting from a windows machine via PL/SQL Develover. When I startup the application the instance name appears but when I try to login as sysdba I get the error. ORA-12545 Connection failed because target host or object does not exist. I'm guessing that there's something net8 I have to setup. This is a new installation. Can someone point me in the right...

Our .net application needs to open a dial up network connection to reach the internet and send and receive emails (we use a third party component for the email). Using wininet.ddl and rasapi32.dll I can list the connections and connect to a specific named connection.

Since SQl Server has been installed with Windows authentication, what happens if the XYZ domain fails. Will it be possible for all clients to access...

Serves me right, I guess. My Windows machine mysteriously stopped getting any access to the network. I rebooted, reset the TCP settings, tried the same connection on my Mac (which worked), ran various wizards, walked through the utterly useless troubleshooting helper, and still had no networking. John extolls the prowess of System Restore, so I decided to give it a try. I figured since networking was working fine yesterday, I could...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
