Remote alterations

I'm in Australia and presently look after 6 x SRP 527 W Routers that are connected to Alcatel PABX phone systems. When I need to alter things like static ip addresses for vpn's I have presently have to go to site and alter these setting. I can log in remotely to these routers but every time I make a change the router gives me the message The values are invalid. I enter the same value from on site and it works. What do I have to do to get this to work and can I make the change remotely or will I have to go to site to make these changes?
Please help.
Also are there courses that I can do to learn more about these routers?

Dear Mark,
Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.
Since the same configuration parameter works on one SRP527 but not another, I believe this has something to do with the firmware release version and therefore I suggest you to make sure run the latest one,
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282910822&flowid=797&softwareid=282919993&release=1.01.19&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
Data sheets and literature for SRP500 series;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10500/prod_literature.html
Admin guide (with firmware upgrade details on chapter 8);
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/srp520_series/srp521w/administration/srp500_admin.pdf
If remote access is already enabled then you can do the upgrade remotely;
http://sbkb.cisco.com/CiscoSB/GetArticle.aspx?docid=fd998d22d7804f73a717e77ff89f729d_Configure_Remote_Access_through_Web_Access_Management_on_SRP.xml&pid=2&converted=0
Pretty much this admin guide is all we know about this routers, please check it out and let me know if you have any question and/or if there is any further assistance I may help you with.

Now this is getting really weird..........who is ...

Guys,
I'm convinced someone/something is remotely altering my hub. Please indulge............
Earlier this week first time ever I see a CWMP Connection Request not allowed this is followed few days later by a "Controlled Kernel Restart" - not initiated by me. .....
Anyways, today, I decided to do a full reset of the Hub - all seemed ok , until about fifty minutes later   I get another "Controlled Kernel Restart" .......It seems something didnt like the changes etc to me???. Logs are below - there are some entries that seem weird which Ive highlighted (help explaining these would be good) - for instance lots of CWMP Connection request no allowed ............., odd 198.18.1.1 server noted etc.
I hope I dont come over as a crank,but somethings just not right here as far as I can figure. Could do with some Expert /MOD help please? or a pointer as to where to go for some technical advice from BT.
Grateful for help.

Nothing unusual about any of those. Seen them many times apart from CWMP, which I have disabled on my home hub.
Just Linux startup messages. If it really worries you, buy a different router.

Is there an alterative to that cumbersome alphabet page and remote, such as hooking up a keyboard?

Using the alphabet screen on the display and clicking each letter to search, put in password, etc., is cumbersome. Is there an alternative system, such as hooking up a keyboard?

If you have another iOS device such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch there is a remote app that you can download to make thing much more easier.

É possível que o Thunderbird ao fazer o download das imagens remotas troque uma imagem, por outra? Pois tenho um caso assim

Infelizmente estou esse erro me ocorre pela segunda vez. O Código HTML img src=CID: até altera porém percebi que isso altera em todas as mensagens, porém é um e-mail que tem pelo menos 7 respostas ou seja um conversa, e a assinatura de um dos e-mails foi alterado. O problema disso é que ele carregou a imagem de outra empresa.
Não acontece sempre tenho apenas duas ocorrências na empresa, porém eles estão pegando no meu pé colocando a culpa na ferramenta, precisa entender o porque isso acontece, para evitar futuros problemas. Não sei afirmar se o erro esta na Função de Imagens Remotas, ou no TEMP, CAche do Thunderbird, que possa ter carregado uma imagem que foi armazenada ou que teve seu endereço definido no lugar da outra. Assim sendo carregada de forma incorreta.
Alguém pode me dar uma luz?

Já vi alguns usuários reclamando disso, mas não sei se o problema foi resolvido, faça uma pesquisa aqui no fórum, talvez você encontre alguma resposta. Infelizmente estamos com poucos contribuidores no fórum de suporte do Thunderbird.

Using alter user to change oracle password for logged in web user on XE

Hi All
I'm building an app using the pl/sql web toolkit on XE (installed on Win XP Pro SP2). (I'm not using the APEX front-end).
I'm using basic authentication and oracle database user accounts, and when a user registers for the first time I create them an oracle user account with dynamic sql, followed by some initial setup stuff, and they then log in with it.
All fine so far.
However I want to allow the user to change their oracle password as part of maintaining their user details. I've done this in the past using the web toolkit and Oracle 9i and it has worked fine using dynamic sql.
Unfortunately I can't get the same thing to work in XE.
For example, if I create the following procedure in the schema aligned to the DAD which holds my application and then run it from a browser (IE or Firefox) then the
Browser and the db just hangs - not even an error message:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ut
AS
v_stmt varchar2(300);
BEGIN
HTP.htmlOpen;
HTP.headOpen;
HTP.title ('User Test');
HTP.headClose;
HTP.bodyOpen;
v_stmt := 'alter user "'||user||'" identified by "BERT"';
htp.print(v_stmt);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_stmt;
htp.print('Done');
HTP.bodyClose;
HTP.htmlClose;
END;
If I run the same statement in SQL*plus it's fine, and if I run the same proc for a different user then it's fine too.
I'm sure it's something to do with trying to change the credentials of the currently logged in user, but I would at least have expected an error message.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks
Steve

Hi g.myers
Thanks for your response.
Sorry, yes, bad turn of phrase there. It's not the entire db that hangs. The web browser (either IE or FF) hangs, and if I look at v$session at this point, I can see that the user STATUS=ACTIVE and the STATE=WAITING.
I should also point out that I am using standard Oracle users as users of the application, (e.g. create a new user account called TESTER1). These users are then granted the appropriate privileges on the owning schema in order to run the app, access the tables etc.
Therefore it is the user account (e.g. TESTER1) that is running the password change procedure that is owned by the SYS schema. (However again, this is the exact code and method that I've used in the past and it has worked fine).
If I leave the browser hanging long enough, it will eventually return with the following error:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /h/hopapp.pwdmaint_do.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
cheers

How to update a large (over 4 million item) List(Of Byte) quickly by altering indexes contained in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) where the Dictionaries keys are the indexes in the List(Of Byte) that need to be changed to the values for those indexes?

 I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
 So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
 Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
 What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
 Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
 I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
 The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
 The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
 In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
 But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
 I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
 I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
 I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
 Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
 So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
 I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
 Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())

Monkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.

Well it's too much to read. I was really tired when I wrote it. Even the below is too much to read but perhaps gets the point across of what I would like to do which I think
Joel Engineer may have answered but I'm not sure. As I'm still too tired to understand that yet and research what he said in order to figure it out yet.
But maybe the code below can provide the concept of the operation with the comments in it. But seeing as how I'm still tired it may be confused.

How do I change the URL to the Remote Web Access server in Windows Server 2012?

Hallo!
I have set up a Remote Dexktop Service using the "Quick" deployment method in Server Manager and everything is working greate internally, but I cannot start an app published in Remote Web Access from outside our network.
The problem is that it wants to start the using the internal URL, for example, server.domain.local, instead of the external one, for example remote.server.com.
I therefore want to know how I can change the default URL for the Remote Web Access server and all the Remote Web Apps in Windows Server 2012?
I have allready looked in Server Manager and I can change some of the deployment settings in server manager, but there is no way to alter the URL of the Remote Web Access server. See below images:
Pressing the internal URL only results in opening the internal URL.
This was very simple to do in Windows Server 2008 R2 using the tsconfig tool, but it does not seam to be any way of solving this in server manager.
A possible sollution would be to alter the registry someware in HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Terminal Services. But this can easaly lead to problems due to wrong format, etc. and is probably not supported.
Is there a simpler and supported way?

That option can be used to connect to any machine that you want. The error message indicates that the client machine cannot resolve the name "server.domain.local" to an IP address that it can connect to.
You have several options for configuring that tab on the RDweb site. You can even remove it entirely.
Customization of RD Web Site
RD Web provides a number of customization options for the RD Web interface, including the ability to control default Gateway server settings and redirection settings. These settings
are controlled by editing the web.config file located in %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDWeb\Pages.
Displaying Local Help
To display local help for users instead of the web-based help, edit the LocalHelp value and change the value from false to true.

<add key="LocalHelp" value="false" />
When this value is changed, a user that clicks on Help in the upper right corner of the RD Web login page will open the local help file instead of web-based help.

Connect to a Remote PC tab can be hidden from users to prevent connections to any servers through RD Web other than the servers configured in a collection. By default, this setting is set to true and the
Remote Desktops tab is displayed. To hide the tab, set the value to false.

<add key="ShowDesktops" value="true" />
When the value is set to false, a user will not see the Connect to a Remote PC tab when logged on to the RD Web page
RD Gateway Settings
If the Connect to a Remote PC tab is enabled, an administrator can configure RD Web to use a Gateway server when connecting to remote computers. To specify a gateway, edit the below
value with the name of the RD Gateway server:

<add key="DefaultTSGateway" value="" />
The default authentication method for the RD Gateway server can also be configured by editing the following section of the web.config:

<add key="GatewayCredentialsSource" value="0" />
Devices and Resources
By default, only Printers and Clipboard are redirected on connections made using the Connect to a Remote PC tab. If the user clicks the
Options << button, the redirection settings for a specific connection can be modified
To configure each specified redirection option to be enabled or disabled by default, edit the following section in the web.config file:

<add key="xPrinterRedirection" value="true" />
<add key="xClipboard" value="true" />
<add key="xDriveRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPnPRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPortRedirection" value="false" />
LAN Experience Defaults
Windows Server 2012 RD Web Access can display a new user selectable option for optimizing the connection for a LAN experience. This option is displayed at the bottom of the RD Web
page and can be controlled by the administrator using the following section of the web.config file:

<add key="ShowOptimizeExperience" value="false" />
<add key="OptimizeExperienceState" value="false" />
This value is set to false by default, but when changed to true, the following checkbox will display at the bottom of the webpage. The LAN experience
checkbox can also be set as enabled by default.
Each setting can also be modified using the IIS Manager user interface:

ITunes remote app for mac

Hello,
I use the remote app on my iPhone quite a bit and am looking for one something similar i can use on my mac.
I have found a couple but ideally I am looking for a dashboard widget or menubar item thats always there. I'm not looking for loads of features a simple playback controller would be fine...
Cheers

hmm ...
in that case there might be something @ Doug's, such as:
[_*Dan's Remote Scripts*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=dansremotes]
These four scripts will assist you in controlling iTunes from a remote computer over a network: Toggle Pause/Play I, Toggle Pause/Play II, Remote Play Next, Remote Play Previous. Be sure to open these scripts in Script Editor and supply the IP addresses for the remote machine.
or
[_*iTunes 2 Remote*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=ittorem]
"This script allows you to remotely control iTunes—useful if like me you have a server attached to an amp and a powerbook with airport The script needs to be altered before it compiles - the hostname or ip address of the machine you want to control needs to replace the instances of myhost.domain.com."
not a very elegant solution but might be sufficient.

Not able to access database from a remote machine using SQL Server Management Studio

Hi,
I have a DB_BOX with SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. I can access the databases on the local machine using SQL Server Management Studio but it is not accessible from other machines, though the machines are in same domain.
I have remote enabled on SQL Server box, TCP enabled, firewall off. I checked with IP Address too, all SQL Server services are running.
The SQL Server log shows the message
The requested service has been stopped or disabled and is unavailable at this time. The connection has been closed.
I get the below message in SSMS from remote machine.

Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:
ALTER ENDPOINT [TSQL Default TCP]
STATE=STARTED;

Remote Time Machine backup over VPN, high data usage?

I have a remote Mac mini Server running 10.10.1 in a hosted environment. I'm attempting to perform a Time Machine backup from a MacBook Pro, also running Yosemite, over VPN.
While TM does see the AFP share over VPN and is backing up, it's been working at it for almost 36 hours now. I understand than uploading a lot of data takes time, but I noticed that Activity Monitor shows that over 30GB of data has been uploaded while the TM progress bar states that only 6.35GB (of ~20GB) has been transferred. Why such a difference? I know that VPN will introduce some overhead, but this just seems ridiculous.
Does anyone have any insight into what is happening? Better yet, can anything be done to fix it?
I actually purchased the mini server for the primary purpose of having remote TM backups, but this type of data rate and transfer is almost making it look impractical.

Time Machine is a very network intensive process, it has to check to see what files have changed this requires comparing between any existing backups and the Mac itself, it may have to prune existing backups to make more room this requires various commands, it of course has to copy new or altered files, it also has to verify all of this. On top of all this as you said the VPN system itself has an overhead and TCP/IP itself does so as well.
While >30GB vs 6.35GB does seem an excessive ratio it is not impossible. It should be noted even a local first backup (the biggest) can take a great deal of time, however typically subsequent backups are a lot smaller and hence quicker.
If you were able to do a local backup and do the same measurements of amounts transferred this would at least show if the amount is normal.

Hyper-V Cluster went wacky, ERROR_TIMEOUT (1460), Remote Administration, Remote Registry

Each Hyper-V host is a Windows 2012 Server
Each host is Connected to a Dell Powervault MD3260 via Dual SAS Cables.
We started getting Errors similar to the Following:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
Date: 9/22/2014 12:01:24 PM
Event ID: 5142
Task Category: Cluster Shared Volume
Level: Error
Keywords:
User: SYSTEM
Computer: SVR-HBG-VM4.HAYDON-MILL.COM
Description:
Cluster Shared Volume 'VSVR_File_Data' ('VSVR_File_Data') is no longer accessible from this cluster node because
of error 'ERROR_TIMEOUT(1460)'. Please troubleshoot this node's connectivity to the storage device and network connectivity.
The CSV Resources that were giving the Timeout Errors were all managed on one specific host, other CSVs on the Powervault were all working fine form the Host reporting the timeout error.
Each of the Host then started to have issues with timeouts to other CSV. Dell Tech Support interrogated the Powervault and found no issued with the Connectivity and no events were present on the Powervault indicating an issue.
Each of the Host would then hand in Explorer, the Task bar would have no icons in the task bar and turn to hourglass when moving mouse to it.
Failover Cluster Manager would sometimes work, then stop working, It would not update the status of the VMs. They would jsut stay at "Loading..." Hyper-V Manager would have similar issues.
We ended up Shutting down all of the VMs and the Cluster and then bringing it back online. Though in the Process we had to tweak some things, the DNS settings on the Hosts were pointing to a VM that was Offline that was fixed. We could not reconnect to the
cluster after we turned on the Hosts. We were getting RPC server unavailable.
I ended up turning off the Firewalls, resetting the NICs and things started to get better.
8 Minutes prior to the Issues did make a few GPO Changes.
Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote Desktop Exception Domain Profile
was 10.0.0.0/8
Changed to 10.0.0.0/8,10.1.0.0/16
Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote Desktop Exception Standard Profile
10.1.0.0/16, localsubnet
Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote administration Exception Domain Profile
was localsubnet,10.0.0.0/8
Changed to localsubnet,10.0.0.0/8,10.1.0.0/16
Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote administration Exception Standard Profile
10.1.0.0/16, localsubnet
Remote Registry Service
Set to Manual Start
So my Question is, could these changes of Affected the Hyper-V Hosts in the Cluster?
Thanks!
Scott<-

I guess I don't see why what I did caused this? The only Change that should of been a Limitation was the Remote Registry set to Manual. If the service on the Clusters was set to Automatic and I set it to Manual, I could see that happening. I removed
that setting in the GPO, though I never altered the service on the Cluster Hosts afterwards.
I Guess if in the Setup of the Cluster Hosts it Changed the Inbound Rules in the Firewall and then I limited them further, though I allowed the LocalSubnet and all of the Hosts are in the local subnet. 10.1.0.0/16.
One Host finally came back online and was able to start VMs and Connect to the cluster without stopping the firewall. Its firewall was only turned off later to match the other three hosts.
Do the Cluster Hosts use the ports for Remote Administration to Communicate to each other?
Here is another thought, Do they communicate to each other via the Management Port or the Redundant Network Link? the Redundant Channel Link is in 10.99.0.0/24 Though Each of the changes I made had either
10.0.0.0/8 which should be a super-set of 10.99.0.0/24 or it had LocalSubnet, which should be 10.99.0.0/24
I just want to be sure that was really the cause and turning off the firewalls was not just masking another issue.
Thanks,

Oracle 10g Express Edition - Problem setting Remote Listener access

Hi,
I have finally managed to get my SUSE machine running Oracle XE. Now I wanted to add remote access to the listener by issuing the following statement (which is the same as described in the documentation)
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCES(FALSE);
BEGIN DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCES(FALSE); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCES' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
SQL>
But I run into the above error - somebody knows what to do?
Regards,
Thomas

SQL> select owner,object_type,status from all_objects where lower(object_name) = 'dbms_xdb';
select owner,object_type,status from all_objects where lower(object_name) = 'dbms_xdb'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
So, I have tried the following:
->
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01507: database not mounted
SQL> alter database mount;
alter database mount
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
SQL> alter database create standby controlfile as 'ora_control1' reuse;
alter database create standby controlfile as 'ora_control1' reuse
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01507: database not mounted
I'm quite confused right now.

Remote Desktop Connection (from home out)

Have BT infinity, has been working fine connecting via Microsoft remote desktop to my office PC (for those infrequent occasions where I need to pick on the odd email), but from about 3 weeks ago I am unable to connect.
I have not changed anything at my end. Others can still connect. And I can connect via 3G, so have narrowed it down to the BT connection or the homehub.
I used wired, not wireless connection.
Am connecting via Microsoft's "Application and Network Access Portal", but I just get a message
Have BT altered something at their end?
Really need to get this working again.
Thanks

Thanks both. I've reverted to the HH3 (type B) i had down in the basement, but still no joy :-(
I can connect to my office email, using Outlook Web Access, but really need to get Remote Desktop working as I need to get other (non email) resources.
I did crack this a while back, but it has since stopped working - at that time it was setting my iprange to be something different (as other posts had mentioned about possible my PC conflicting with the range used by my office). But that isn't helping this time.
Would be annoyed if BT have altered something again.
Just spotted the HH3 firmware was update at start of Nov
Current firmware:
V100R001C01B036SP05_L_B

Overriding function keys when using MS Remote Desktop Connection

Is there a way when connected to a RDP client using MS Remote Desktop Connection to prevent the function keys from being intercepted and handled by OSX. For example on my iMac keyboard, function keys 7 to 12 are used to control itunes and alter the system sound volumes. Is there a way to have these keys processed by the RDP client instead, so that the remote Windows OS can handle them?
While this question currently relates to an iMac, I'll soon be using a Macbook Pro in the same scenario, and will be requiring a similar solution for that machine.

Thanks for your suggestion. Setting that option only toggles what the function keys are interpreted as in OSX, but the key presses are still not processed by the OS in the RDP session. For example, pressing F9 when the RDP window is active shows all open OSX windows in Expose, rather than having the keypress processed by the active software in the RDP session
I did try posting to the forum you mentioned yesterday, but due to server issues my post failed. I'll try again today.
