Netbios and WINS accross subnets

Hi,
ive a really old application which checks AD Group memebership of the logged on user.
The authentication uses smb and samr protocol. To find the Domain Controller and
connect to \\dc\IPC$ it uses Netbios.
The Application an the Domain Controllers are in different subents / vlans. My question
is, as netbios broadcasts normally doesnt leave subents and will be blocked by routers
do i need a Wins Service in both subnets, the application vlan as well as the Domain
Controller vlan ? Or should it be ok the install wins on the PDC DC and Point my
Application Server to the Wins Service ? Well, i tried this Scenario, but that didnt work.
One thin i have to check is, if on the PDC the Computer Browser Service is started or
disabled, which is the Default on a w2k8r2 DC. Also Need to check which Servers are
elected for the Master Browser Role of the subnet. Also i will try to set those keys on
the PDC:
http://idamd.blogspot.de/2010/07/windows-2008-and-netbios-browsing.html
But iam not sure, if every subnet need his local Wins Service or not?
Thanks a lot,
Marcus

Hi,
According to this article:
To broadcast for the NetBIOS name is effective within a local network but is ineffective across routers, which do not forward broadcast packets. This means that the broadcast NetBIOS name resolution method does not work across routers. It can only be used
for computers within the same IP subnet.

Safety of MS Sharing on LAN over TCP/IP via NetBIOS and/or Direct SMB

Shalini Sampath Kumar at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/ suggested I post this question over
here:
What is the safest recommended way to set up MS File and Printer Sharing on a LAN with both Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro machines? Does "Direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP," help? What about setting a "Scope ID" (or did that go out
with Windows NT)?
Background: I've been trained to be paranoid about NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Right now I have only XP Pro machines on my peer-to-peer workgroup LAN (behind a NAT router and with Simple File Sharing turned off), on which File and Printer Sharing has been
unbound from TCP/IP and bound to NetBEUI instead, so I feel fairly safe. Port scanning by ShieldsUp doesn't see any ports through the router, open or closed -- in other words, it appears to be "stealthed," for what that's worth. With
NetBIOS disabled on all computers inside the LAN, however, can I perform a valid test of what will happen when File and Printer Sharing is re-bound to TCP/IP?
My New Problem: I'm planning to add Window 7 Pro machines, for which NetBEUI isn't an option, and then to transition entirely to Win7 before XP goes off extended support in April. I will still use a peer-to-peer architecture with password-protected
sharing turned on (no HomeGroup). It appears that I can still get rid of NetBIOS (and WINS) in favor of "Direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP," which sounds safer. Apparently then only port 445 will be vulnerable instead of ports 137-139.
In any case I want to do everything I can to protect my file-sharing port(s) from the Internet (e.g., from anyone who might break into my LAN either by making a wireless connection or by hacking the router itself). Can anybody give a clear set of steps
to change sharing from NetBIOS (which I would like to disable entirely) to direct hosting of SMB and to verify that I'm protected as well as possible?
I will have to completely revamp the network-file-sharing configuration of my XP machines as soon as the first Win7 machine goes on line (and possibly tweak the configuration of Win7 as well), perhaps as early as this week. I want to do this in the way that
maximizes security to the extent possible. Thanks in advance more details and guidance on this topic! -- JCW2
P.S. -- These computers are all laptops and will be used away from my home LAN -- another reason for paranoia about File and Printer Sharing. I realize that Windows 7 provides an easy way to disable F&PS by selecting any new network location as
"public," but XP does not (as far as I know). Fixing that will take more effort and be harder to remember... -- JCW2

Removing the NetBIOS transport has several advantages compared to NetBIOS over TCP, you can find detailed infromation in the following KB

Hi again -- I think I'm slowly catching up with you. Following from my previous message...
Somebody on another forum mentioned creating "Hosts" files on each computer to substitute for the DNS server that I don't have on my workgroup. This is intriguing if I can figure out how to set it up. (I've heard it said that taking control of
your "Hosts" file is a good safety precaution anyhow, since it is a frequent target of hackers trying to divert legitimate Web requests to their own malicious sites.) Does anybody have tips and/or references that would help me accomplish the name resolution
there?
Finally, what functionality do I really lose by going the Direct-Hosting-of-SMB-with-Hosts-file (or drive mapping) route as opposed to using NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Granted, any new machine added to the network would also have to be added to all the "Hosts"
files (or mapped to a new drive letter) on each machine; but given that I already have to add it to the MAC filter and assign it a DHCP reservation in my router, this isn't a heavy burden for something that doesn't happen often. Would everything then
work the same as if NetBIOS were providing the name resolution?
One missing piece that I see so far -- it's not obvious how this same trick would apply to printer sharing (although I'm not using that feature right now anyhow). Could this be handled seamlessly through the "Hosts" file as well?
Thanks and Best Regards to All -- JCW2

Christina,
Since you are in a mixed environment, you should avoid using the operating
system commands for portability reasons. You can use the -fns option on
the ftexec command which allows you to override the environment/registry
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS.
Example: ftexec.exe -fns computername:portnumber
Hope this helps in your situation.

Hello Christina,
try the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv() - method befor you make the

Because the RunCommand executes a new shell, the calling Apllication A
works with it's old adress.
Hope it helps.

Dear forte-users,
I have the following problem.
I have an application A that uses a certain environment (say Aenv, with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=server1:5000). This application executes at a certain time
a RunCommand and calls a "ftexec" which runs another Forte' application
(B). Application B belongs to a different environment (say Benv, with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=server2:6000).
When I call application B from application A, application B reads the same
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS which was set before start executing application A (that
is, application B uses FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=server1:5000, which is incorrect).
I can have mixed platform UNIX and Windows 95, so FORTE_NS_ADDRESS can be
an environment variable or a line in forte.ini.
Can you think of a workaround to this problem ?

Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
Will this work?
Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
"Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
And why do I need to remove drives?
Rob

I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
Don't know what Linux requires.
GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Is fox 35 and win. 8.1 and theAMD A8 compatable ?

Have loaded and uninstalled fox 35 several times----no error warnings---set fox for default-----but the result is a Franken browser part Explorer 11 and part Fox 35 and not usable . On the 1st uninstall Explorer 11 vanished but it's still there---when I reload Fox it's the same Franken browser and I found Exp. 11 when I tried ''new internet connection'' it seems 11 is already running but not showing any longer on desktop or in programs but it is intact and not a franken browser. Is there conflict with using Fox 35 and Win. 8.1 and the AMD A8 ??

Adobe products under OS X and Win XP

Can anyone give me a comparison of the performance of Photoshop,etc. when running them under OS X and Win XP (boot camp of course on the same machine).
I'm assuming CS2. Just raw performance...I will have to factor in the time I would save using the awesomely productive OS X and clunky old XP.
Thanks!

sonicsoul,
Up to now there's a HUGE difference of speed and performance with Photoshop CS2 between XP and OSX. The thing that makes Phosothop CS2 slower on MacOS X (Intel CD) is that the app is created for PowerPC, so running Photoshop CS2 (or any other app that's not yet Universal) with Rosetta, will make the app work HALF speed as on a PowerPC one. On windowsXP it works reaaaaaaally fast. I'm gonna use it till Adobe launches a Universal version. And I suggest that you do the same.
Hope that answers your question.

Printing from Adobe Reader X with HP UPD PCL6 ver 61.107.4.8232 and Win 7 x64

Hello,
I have a Windows 2003 32-bit server with HP UPD PCL6 driver, version 61.107.4.8232 installed for several HP P4014dn printers. I'm running into an issue printing from Adobe X on Win 7 x64 machines. There is a delay of about 5-10 minutes, per page, before the job is spooled and printed.
Any thoughts on why this only affects Win 7 x64 machines? Printing works without any issues on Win XP and Win 7 32-bit machines.
Thanks in advance.

This is true when printing a .pdf file opened thru IE and a saved .pdf file.

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Here is some additional information that may or may not be of any relevance. I do not know.
On the old server, I compiled the code with the compilation commands: f95 program.for
I was able to compile and execute code with small, medium size or large arrays (with or without the additional -openmp flag).
If I repeat the same command: f95 program.for
on the new server, I get the following compilation error message for programs with medium size and large arrays:
In function `newmaxmalecor':
/mnt/ide0/home/gustaf/education/programming/cesprod100//chicago.for:4340: relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol
If I compile with the additional flags: f95 -xmodel=medium -m64 program.for
on the new server, there are no compilation errors and I can run the code in sequence.
However, when I compile with
f95 -xmodel=medim -m64 -openmp program.for
on the new server, compilation works, but I cannot execute the code with medium size and large arrays.
The programs for which I have to add the "-xmodel=medium" flag on the new server to be able to compile the code and run it in sequence, are exactly the ones for which I get segmentation faults when I introduce the openmp flag and try to execute the code in parallel fashion.
Is this just a coincidence?

EAX and Win back confidence

I am hoping that Creative can built their next generation X-Fi into the speakers , home entertainment system and so on one day instead of solely dependant on the PC. It should also make use of Zii to make up on the shortfalls of X-Fi to process very complex and very intensi've?audio environment. Continue their developments on EAX and OpenAL?which is important for developers.
Microsoft ditch DirectSound and DirectSound3D but developers still works on EAX through OpenAL.
Developers still use EAX as a de-facto standard and PC audio industry called this SoundBlaster compatibility. Creative has responsibility to ensure that all their SoundBlaster works and provide great EAX supports whenever. They should constantly review their drivers, their software release to provide greater supports. It's a responsibility which brings trust, quality and continue reliability.
This can win back their lost market share and win back confidence.
While Creative create the next generation EAX standard and sound blaster, they should explain what type of engineering was created which was so distinctly different from before?and be proud to explain these merits to all. Creative?can raise the bar of the industry with next generation EAX and audio solutions. It should be using?superior and specialise hardware to deli'ver that and not any software or processor based. (too bloated)
Creative marketing needs to be somehow?more technical to?market its products.
Creative sale needs to?be more open and?understand?market needs.
Creative support?needs to?be responsi've to market needs and changes as the sale face tough market competitions....

Creative should quickly move towards computational audio... compute audio in various ways...
e.g. understand difficult audio environment... like multiple layers of sound...
Distinguish environment, distinguish?emotions like?fear, danger, happy and?sad...
Have useful features like voice translation, voice to words translation... languages translation...
Perhaps this? might requires a very comprehensi've audio?database?and?also algorithm.
Creative should?use its expertise to continue it's development on audio and reinvent the audio architecture and interaction architecture.
This?could be?a reality in times to come...
It could change the audio landscape as it's currently very dull.

[SOLVED] wine and wine-silverlight

hello
i wanted to watch netflix so i installed netflix desktop
i needed wine-silverlight for that but it conflicts with wine
how can i install both of them? or is there an other way to watch netflix on my linux computer?
Last edited by Fearce (2014-04-04 18:07:12)

In many cases you can use wine-silverlight instead of wine. The improved API may result in a few bugs in other functions becoming visible, so if that is the case you can use the precompiled pipelight and wine-compholio packages from the pipelight repository. http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-instal … tion_1_2_1
Or you can modify some variables in the PKGBUILDs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi … _variables
