How to develope a NDIS miniport driver to detect network connection

I need to develope a NDIS miniport driver to detect the current network status of a machine. If someone know how to do it please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think we all need a little more information to help you. Are you using any NI hardware or software? What port are you trying to connect to. Some more information would be helpful.
Thanks

Did you check the network setting?
Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

How to assign the proper printer driver for a network shared HP PSC 1315 on the client side

Hi,
For the sake of simplicity I'll start with the simplest part: I have successfully got the above mentioned printer to work on the PC where it is connected to via USB (running MS Windowx XP SP 3). I recently downloaded the latest install program for the printer drivers to do that. I connected it then to another PC (also MS Windows XP SP 3), and also installed the printer drivers using the HP install program and could also print on that one.
Now I wanted to share. I shared the printer on the PC connected to the printer, and on the other one I started the "Add printer" dialogue, chose network, and found it, and selected it. However, I am then told, that the host doesn't have a printer driver so I have to choose one on the client. And this is the problem, as I don't have the printer driver file. As I mentioned, there are no individual divers on the HP home page, only this install program, which I did run on both PCs, but this doesn't help me for the case of assigning the correct printer driver on a network client. Of course I also checked the list of available installed models, but it doesn't show up. So, what do I do?

just so u know I was not trying to print directly to the HP PSC 2355 from my iBook G4, I wanted to print to it over the network, wirelessly. So installing the HP Printer drivers would not serve that purpose. As I tried to explain in my email.
By the way I did find a solution that has worked for me.
The solution is to go to Print & Fax in the System Preferences.
This is assuming that you have shared the printer from the PC.
Then click on the + to add a printer to the iBook G4.
Then click on the More Printers button at the bottom.
You should then ensure that you have Windows Printing selected
You should then make sure that the drop down below is Workgroup I think
Then you should select the computer that u have your printer shared from
Then you should press the Choose button.
Your shared printer should be listed there
You should then select that printer and choose HP from the Model drop down
Then under Model Name pick HP DeskJet 900 series and press the Add button
This model is not for an HP PSC 2355, but it is the appropriate driver for this
printer, if you choose this print driver, everything will work and you can
print wirelessly from your iBook G4 to a HP PSC 2355
I have tested it on several different things including just text and color
graphics as well, and it all worked beautifully, I am so happy now, that I
figured it out.

How many Samsung Stratosphere users do not have reliable network connectivity using hotspot or tethering?

I am on my 3rd phone in as little as 9 months because I have never been able to stay on the network using the hotspot or tethering. The network keeps disappearing and coing back on. I am in a 4 g area and right across the street from a main Verizon store. My antennae strength is full and my 4g indicator is on but it disappears so much that I cannot rely on network service with my phone. I actually went out and purchased a 4g aircard and that works just fine so I know its the phone and not the network. Its funny I keep getting put back into this phone when its the phone that has the problem. My salesman said after the 3rd phone you will be upgraded to the next best phone so hopefully Motorola Driod 4 will be the key top reliable network connectivity. I wish I knew how widespread this is or has been. I realize not a majority of Stratosphere users probably dont use the hotspot or tethering much but I use it or try to on a daily basis. I love the phone but not the hotspot or tethering capabilities. My newest phone never got any new apps or anything put on and it had problems outta the box.

This phone SUCKS period. I have only had it since July 27 and it has NEVER worked well. I was never told (of course other than small print) that I had two weeks to return and get a totally different phone if not happy. So the 15th day I found that out. They pulled my sim card it worked better for about one week. Than back to crap. So, I did a factory reset as they told me to. It worked for about another 2 weeks maybe. Now back to the same old thing again. Drops calls ALL THE TIME with full network strength I can here them they cannot here. Goes back to factory defaults all the time. Starts not ringing and going only into voice mail. Freezes up where you cannot even shut off, you have to take the battery out. Also, constantly loses connectivity even though it is showing 4G and all bars too.
Went in again to discuss this with them just today. HMM, first, if you go back to comolaints this has been a main complaint of this phone for a huge percentage of customers. Hmm, they are still selling it as a GREAT phone, that is what they said to me, ohhhh, no problems. Today they looked it up and supposabley says Samsung as of July 30th is aware of this problem and now has 90 days to fix it. Current fix. They SAY, pull the battery out EVERY night. Stuck with phone will not replace with a different model. Only same model. SUCKS...Oh and Verizon rep says to me " we are only the cell service. All warranty's are through your Samsung." Funny thing is. WHY are they still selling it on their shelf. I feel like sending a spy into tomorrow to same store and find out if they push the phone on them...BUSTED, I am sure they will. Meanwhile, it sure puts bumps in the road for our livelyhood if our only phone. Not work the retail value, so not buying my own phone to replace YET.
Good luck....Hopefully your third time is the charm and you will finally get a replacement for this Piece of CRAP.

HT2421 How do I access the USB drive once it is connected to the Airport Extreme? I can't find it? Thanks.

I have set upmthe Airport Extreme and all is well, except I do not understand how to access the USB Drive. I am using a PC and two IOS Devices

An App like Filebrowser will allow your iOS devices to browse files on the hard drive.

How to access Time Capsule hard drive with out internet connection?

Basically I live in a four bedroom house. One of my roomates moved out who had the internet in there name. Now i dont have an internet access but I have the Time Capsule with a 2 TB hard drive that stores my whole itunes library. I have enough space on my Macbook Air to store my whole library. I'd like to move my whole iTunes library back to my computer and wipe the Time Capsule Clean.

If the Time Capsule is providing a wireless network signal, an Internet connection does not need to exist to move files from the Mac to the Time Capsule, or vice versa.
Log onto the Time Capsule wireless network
Open Macintosh HD
Look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder named Data (unless you have renamed it) will appear to the right
Double click Data to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
Open the drive on the desktop and you can drag/drop files over to the destination that you choose on the Mac.
Once the file transfer is complete, double check to make sure that the files are back on your Mac and everything is working properly. Then, you can erase the Time Capsule hard drive.

NDIS Miniport on top of WDM - assertions on Ndismindicatereceivenetbufferlist()

We have the NDIS miniport driver loaded on top of PDO created by a WDM driver. When the NDISMIndicateReceiveNetBuffersList() function is directly called from the DPC that is initialized and scheduled by DPC and that executes code in NDIS miniport, we
get assertion as below:
Is it necessary that we have to complete it in NDIS context by doing it in NDIS Timer or NDIS Work queue item?
Thanks

Continuing an assertion failure can result in the debuggee

If you want to ignore this assertion, use 'ahi'.
If you want to force continuation, use 'gh' or 'gn'.

Hi ,
Thanks a lot.
We have modified the code to indicate the packets through work item by scheduling it from DPC that processes the packet. It works,. However, in HCK test for 1c_RSSBVT Test and 1c_RSSSendReceive , we get error stating that the packet with same header is being
completed from different CPUs. This is because the work item scheduled from RSS CPU1 may get completed in CPU 3 and the next packet completed for the same RSS CPU1 be completed in CPU2, as the queued work item is arbitrary.
Any ideas to avoid?
Thanks

NativeWifi application not recognizing Miniport Driver over USB

Hi,
We are working in WEC7 Wifi driver over USB interface. We have developed the custom miniport driver.
In our case, when we analyse the Debug prints, Wifi driver is up and scanning properly. But Native Wifi
application is not able to display/indicate anything on UI. It is showing the Adapter as OFF. Same Miniport driver is working fine over SDIO.
Any registry settings or configuration related changes is needed please let me know.
Thanks,
Seeth

The problem was solved by unplugging the printer (not just power off), waiting 5 minutes, plugging back in and restarting. Everything is working like a charm - USB, wireless, etc.
Found the answer as a response to another similar post in this forum.

How to delete a registered jdbc driver

I configured a third party jdbc driver but it's wrong. I tried to remove it but I can't find any way to do so. can any body tell me how to remove a defined jdbc driver(not remove a connection.) thanks.

Registered third-party JDBC drivers can be deleted or edited by opening the 'Preferences' dialog (select the 'Preferences' menu item from the 'Tools' menu) and selecting the 'Database Connections' item on the left-hand tree. The resulting panel has a list of the registered drivers; select the one you wish to delete and click the 'Delete' button.

How can I get network connection when booting from usb stick or dvd

Computer: HP Pavillion P6-2450eo
Secure Boot disabled

Thruogh F9 I can boot in uefi mode from DVD and USB stick but I can't get at network connection from the loadet program. I have tried with Ubuntu 13.04, Linux Mint 15 and Boot Repair - all with same result.
How can I get the programs to boot with network connection?
On beforehand thanks!

Please verify that the programs (Ubuntu, Mint, Boot-Repair, etc.) you are attempting to use, support the Atheros AR8161L gigabit ethernet controller natively. Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box. Many times, specific drivers must be loaded or injected into the OS for a device to function properly.
Please send KUDOs

Custom IOCTL in Compact 2013 NDIS 6.0 miniport driver

The miniport driver requires a custom operation like configuring a specific register at the Ethernet controller. The access must be synchronized with the other operation of the miniport.
How can I send a custom IOCTL to the miniport driver from a service or application in user mode?
I have registered the OID code 0xFFA0C905 to SupportedOidList with the NdisMSetMiniportAttributes call. But a try to call DeviceIoControl with this value a dwCommand is rejected by NDIS.

Hi,
You may base your code on this sample:
Lets say you define a custom OID to be OID_NDIS_CUSTOM then,
#define OID_NDIS_CUSTOM 0xFF100001
static BOOL IssueSetOid(HANDLE hAdapter,
TCHAR *DevName,
DWORD OidCode,
PUCHAR pData,
int Length)
PNDISUIO_SET_OID Oid;
DWORD dwReturnedBytes;
PUCHAR buffer;
unsigned int len = sizeof(NDISUIO_SET_OID) + Length;
BOOL success;
buffer = (PUCHAR) malloc(len);
if (NULL == buffer) {
return FALSE;
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(NDISUIO_SET_OID));
Oid = (NDISUIO_SET_OID *)buffer;
Oid->Oid = OidCode;
Oid->ptcDeviceName = DevName;
if (Length > 0) {
memcpy(Oid->Data,pData,Length);
// Pass the IOCTL to the device
success = DeviceIoControl(hAdapter,
IOCTL_NDISUIO_SET_OID_VALUE,
buffer,
len,
NULL,
0,
&dwReturnedBytes,
NULL);
free(buffer);
return success;
The above code can be used to push the OID request to the driver. Also, the SetInformationHandler in your miniport driver or MiniportOidRequest can handle your OID request for processing.
Before you call the DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_NDISUIO_SET_OID_VALUE do remember to do:
hAdapter = CreateFile( NDISUIO_DEVICE_NAME, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE );
The above code would give you a handle to NDISUIO. Use the adapter name to issue set requests to the driver.
PS: Above was just a sample. Not all error handling / checks might be present.
Hope this helps.

Balaji.

How can i develop a custom Printer driver in LabVIEW

I have one application in which when ever user prints a document (He will print only certain type of documents)
it should get printed using some standard printer but at the same time the data should get communicated to our own custom device which is connected to the PC using serial port.
how can i do this.
I think if we can develop a our own driver which will first send data to serial device and then just call the standard printers driver then whole problem can be resolved
The application will run on windows platform and the data i am expecting is purely a text data.

I think i have not explained my problem properly. i am sorry for that.
the problem is something like this.
my end user is already having one program which is generating the data (Unfortunately that program do not save data to any file and our requirement is online updatation of data) which i want to give to my serial device. he dont have the source code hence we can not alter that perticular code. the data might be available to us only when he prints the data, where we can select any one of installled printers.
hence we want to develop an application which will appear as printer driver to windows and when user prints we can capture printed data
i think problem will be clear now.

How to create an handle for Miniport driver Ioctl interface?

Hi All,
I am trying to create an handle for my miniport driver Ioctl interface, but it showing the following error while opening the handle with CreateFile API.
"you are requesting IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICE_INFO::SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE,
which has been deprecated. Use IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICE_INFO::SPI_GETPLATFORMNAME
instead"
Can anyone suggest on how to create the handle for Miniport Ioctl interface?
Thank you,
Sagar

Hi,
I have seen this error only in GUI based apps. Maybe you are pointing to the wrong error.
Check if CreateFile returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. API return value should give you more information.

How do I Rename Mac Hard Drive with Home Folder Only?

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro with an SSD which has OSX Snow Leopard and my Applications, and the other hard drive has my Home Folder. I replaced the optical drive with the SSD.
The other hard drive has the standard name of 'Macintosh HD'. I need to change it to something without spaces in order to get some developer software to work (i.e., it can't have spaces in the workspace name, and now that my Home folder is on a drive that doesn't have OSX, it refers to it as '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/.../...'
I ran into a disaster by simply changing the 'Macintosh HD' name to 'MacintoshHD' - It prevented me from logging in and I had to use the OSX Install disk to use the command line to rename the hard drive back to 'Macintosh HD'. My guess is because my account was referencing a home folder location that no longer existed.
My question is how can I rename my hard drive with my Home Folder? Can I change the hard drive name, and then immediately change my Account to reference the new hard drive name (and thus the new location of my home folder), and then reboot? Will this work if I do this in this order? Or is there another way to handle this entirely?
I'm very hesitant to try this again as I don't want to have to go back and use the OSX install disk - my SSD took the place of the optical drive and I have to go and take it out, put it back in...etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Chicago29

I don't have a setup to test this, but you might try the following:
Create a second "normal" admin account with its home folder on the boot drive, then log out of your regular account and log into the new one. From there you could rename the large hard drive, then go to System Preferences>Accounts, select the first account, then right-click>Advanced options to change its home directory path to match the new HD name. That way you're not changing the home folder path "in mid-air."
It's probably a good idea to keep a tiny "self-contained" admin account on the boot drive anyway, so you don't get locked out in the event of future trouble accessing the large disk.
