USB / Re: USB Video - Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator
« on: 2009.01.06, 16:19:28 »
The previous USB docks that I worked with that Lenovo sold were by Targus if I recall correctly.  While having the ability to use one would be nice, I wouldn't recommend them on the whole.

UltraIso runs with odin
Thank you... I had tried both UltraIso and MagicISO (as well as some others) without success.  I hadn't put a lot of time into it though so when you said that UltraISO worked I sat down and figured out it just didn't like the setupapi.dll and copying the one from my WinXP partition over got it working.
Thanks,
Andy

An additional note:

To make things easier for myself, I use an ISO editor, and open the install disk with it. I then copy the registration file (or create one as DavidG outlined how to do) into the ISO as registration.key (or whatever name you want), then re-burn the disk.

Is there an ISO editor that runs on OS/2?  We have several readers but I've been looking for an editor for sometime.

Applications / Re: SciTech Aquisition
« on: 2008.12.13, 21:49:07 »
In September there was a message on the OpenSNAP list that the Source may not be released due to acquisition.  Haven't seen anything else so either the acquisition seems to have gone through or is progressing.

General Discussion / Re: it is possible read UDF 2.50
« on: 2008.12.09, 01:19:32 »
If you can't get it to work with the UDF 2.16 (latest IBM released code) you could try:
<http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-viewer.php?dir=/pub/os2/system/drivers/filesys&file=ndpudf-1.0.zip&backto=%2Fh-search.php%3Fkey%3Dudf%26pushbutton%3DSearch>
it requires Netdrive but is supposed to be able to handle more than IBMs code but I can't test what you are after to know if it handles this or not.

General Discussion / Re: eCS RC6a is out
« on: 2008.12.06, 04:04:27 »
The a denotes a differentiation from the Warpstock Europe release.  There were a few things fixed since the Warpstock release, though what they were I am not sure.

Open Bounties / Re: General Win32 Plugin for Mozilla/Firefox
« on: 2008.12.01, 05:13:07 »
Possibly, depending on how the Flash plugin is done (i.e. able to be used more generically) and whether the source will be available.

Events / Re: eCS v2.0 Presentation at Open Source event
« on: 2008.11.28, 00:24:27 »
Thomas has put it very well.  My own presentations at Warpstock have had minimal slides as a general rule.  This year had more than the norm and should be available but often my slides are more for specific points of reference for queues to me (or reminders if someone saw the presentation) if I have slides at all as sometimes I've instead shown real time examples.

Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Re: DOCX
« on: 2008.10.22, 00:11:22 »
I saw a report on one of the lists that there were screenshots of 00 3.0 on OS/2, and that it was in testing and completion.  I don't know how long that will take but OO 3.0 can read docx files.  So hopefully before it becomes a huge problem though it will be released.

Development / Re: somewhere out there

Well, my firewall needs to be adjusted to allow for all normal browsing and activities.

Tweaking, I suspect, will be ongoing as the Internet and it's appliances change.

Question:


         Do you know how many connections your present setup uses during your normal use?


Its working well now.  Seamonkey defaults to 15 connections, I had two tabs loading which would hit the 30.  As far as normal usage goes... I commonly have 4 or 5 (more rarely more) tabs opening here on the OS2World site at one time as I will middle click on several links I am interested in on a site and load them all in the background while finishing the page I am on.  Then I move across through them quickly as they are all loaded.

Ben, your forum signature image is hosted on your site as well, correct? It's no longer showing up here nor can I reach your page.
His image seems to be hosted on OS2World... at least when I right click on it (it shows here) I have the option to block images from OS2World.

Injoy would not have known it was telnet as it would just see it as a browser connection as I was on port 80. Besides it being after the browser had already failed.  Not a big deal.

abwillis.

I rebooted the server a few times while installing SAMBA.

I suspect that's when you were trying to connect.

Let me know if you still are having troubles.


Still a problem here... after the browser failed I tried wget so that I could see what it was doing and it resolved the hostname but timed out connecting on port 80.  I then tried to telnet to port 80 and it times out as well.

The servers are up and running and the log files show continuous access throughout the night from -- as is the norm -- all over the world.

I suspect that the problem lies with whom ever is providing your DNS services. I have heard of this problem before. Some providers will not properly resolve Domain Names in the private IP blocks.

The only thing that I can suggest is for you to do a manual DNS lookup on some site that carries no restrictions, via web browser, and use the provided IP address in place of the domain name.

Canada's ISPs do this a lot. I suspect that it is tied into getting rid of private http servers. This is just like the pseudo E-mail providers, (Gmail, Yahoo & the like), trying to gain total control over the E-mail information network, by refusing mail from private E-mail servers, and, of course, refusing to tell their users that they are doing so.

If demand warrants it I'll consider buying some space on a commercial server, but my setup is more than capable of carrying a large load so... I don't see this happening any time soon.

I can ping your server but after retrieving just one page I get the following for further requests (2 of the pages were requested at almost the same time on different tabs, only one loaded and further attempts fail):
Network Timeout     
The operation timed out when attempting to contact www.self-wrighting.net.       
The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.
    * Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage?  Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?  Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
    * Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

As there are two reports now, I suspect it to be at the server side.

Programming / Re: Innotek font engine extended to WPS
« on: 2008.09.29, 05:02:01 »
I used 2.60 beta here with pmshell and it was mostly stable but there were a few instances that was fairly certain that were caused by IFE.  I mostly stopped using it because I couldn't say the fonts were "better", different yes but I can't say "better". 
With FF 3+ IFE is redundant, Fontconfig includes FT2 and does the antialiasing.
