How should I add a new physical network interface to the system?

Hello:
I am about to test my own NIC driver.
I have used add_drv to add my driver.
I have assigned an IP address to the sytem in the /etc/hosts file and corresponding network mask in the /etc/netmasks file, too.
But when I tried to ping this IP address, it reported an error message saying"ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway localhost .....".
I wonder if the system knows this physical network address.
Does this have something to do with the /etc/hostname.* file?
If this is the case, what should I name the "*" part of this file?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Steven

Hello Shridhar:
Thanks for your kindly reply.
I just noticed that the system would try to plumb the interface during the booting process but failed with a error saying "ifconfig:plumb:XXXX:Bad file number", where XXXX is the * part of /etc/hostname.*
Does not mean I have assigned a illegal interface name to this interface?
It seems that man page doesn't contain any information about error messages.
I use the form XXX0, where XXX is the name of the NIC driver.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Steven
You should plumb the interface and bring it up with
the ifconfig command. Do a man on ifconfig for more
details. What was the add_drv command used ? Based on
your driver's name, you can setup the hostname.*
file's name to automatically setup and initialize the
NIC inetrface everytime the system boots up.

How do I add a new page dynamically base on the expendable text field?

Hi, All,
I've created a form with flow subform and expendable text fields. When the user fills out lengthy content, the form get cut off. Is there a way to dynamically add pages base on the content that user fills in the expendable text field?
Thanks,

May be you need check some things..
1) See if the form is saved as Dynamic PDF form.
2) The TextField should be set the "Expand to Fit" Check box checked in the Height property.
3) The subform that contains the TextField should set to Auto Fit for Height.
Thanks

Add New Virtual Network Interface to RRAS

In the past (W2k3), adding an interface to the OS would also cause that interface to be added to RRAS. I have a server running RRAS and it has multiple VMs running in Hyper-V. I want to add an isolated VM that has a single port available from the Internet to that VM. I have added an Internal Virtual Network and configured it with a static IP (in the host OS) (same configuration (except IP address) as my other virtual network interfaces). The new interface does not show up in RRAS even after restart. In W2k3, you could add an interface in the Network Interfaces area. In W2k8, the only interface you can add is a demand-dial interface.
In the past, I had to delete the RRAS server and reinstall it to see the new interface. This is ugly as it removes, for an extended time, all of the mappings, filters, etc. that I have in place.
Any ideas on how to manually add a new interface to RRAS either by registry, powershell, script, etc.?Pete

I found a new way around this which should work for everyone, a twist on the existing registry solution:
Open RegEdit.exe.
Go to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces" where each of your network adapters (physical or virtual) has a GUID named sub-key. Identify which one is your network adapter (look at the IP or DHCP settings in the child key=values
or configure a temporary address so you can find it). Now you have discovered the GUID. Click the GUID key then hit F2 to goto rename mode and highlight the whole key, hit CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard.
Go to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Interfaces". Add a new sub-key which is the next in sequence, for example I had 1...6 so I added "7". This is key add the following...
A DWORD32 (32bit integer) called "Enabled" set to 1.
A REG_SZ (string) called "InterfaceName" then paste your interface GUID, e.g. set to "{XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}".
A DWORD32 called "Stamp" set to 0.
A DWORD32 called "Type" set to 3 (LAN).
Restart RRAS, the interface will appear!
Right click each protocol, e.g. IPv4, IPv6 then you can right click "General" to add a "New Interface..." and your interface will then be enabled for that protocol.
I'm happy I played around a bit more to find that now. But MS even though we have a solution which does not require us to lose our configuration, please fix the source of this problem!

How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
Thanks

Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync. If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline. Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this. When its right you can delete the track in the background music position. Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

HT204053 how do I add a new mac email address

How do I add a new me.com email address? With mobileme it seemed like you could add up to 5 email addresses but not quite sure how it works now with icloud.

With iCloud, you only get one address per iCloud account. You can create up to 3 alias adress names, but these still receive email to the same inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). If you already have a @me address, you should have been assigned a @icloud address too. This operates like an alias address, but does not count toward your total of 3.
Also, new iCloud accounts only receive @icloud addresses; @me (and @mac) addresses are no longer available.

How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the preconfigured options.
Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

Hi,
I have created on windows service to fetch sharepoint list ad update the list items.
when i run this service in sharepoint server(where the sharepoint site is hosted),it is working fine. If i run the same service in another machine(sharepoint installed in this machine also). it is giving the below error

I have pointed .net framework to 3.5 version and target palform as Any CPU. Please suggest me

Hi mallela1,
I also had similar issue couple of months back when I was trying to access a remote URL from a Windows service when the site does not exists in the server where service resides.
You cannot access a remote url (even though it is SharePoint server and also in same network ) from server object model.
SPSite can look in the current server only. here what is happening is SPSite will look for this in the current server DB and it is not finding this errror.
So please dont use ServerObject model for accessing remote sites. You can use Client Object model for the code /requirement you have stated above.
I wasted lot of time in finding a work around to make to work. It did not. So look for other options.
Regards,
Nandini

How do I add my new lapttop to my family iTunes? I downloaded music, but cannot play it

How do I add my new lap top to my family iTunes? I downloaded music, but cannot play it on my laptop

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
