software purchase for web forums
by Steven Edwards 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hello, The web teams has requested that we purchase a software package to handle our forum discussion on the website. The purchase cost is $160 http://www.vbulletin.com/ We have about $90 in paypal donated for misc needs and this seems like a good buy if we really need it. After our hack of the website this may be a good thing. I would like to have a vote up or down about the purchase. If the majority of the project supports this then once we reach the required amount we will purchase. Please reply to me in private, the foundation or general lists only. Do not follow this thread on ros-dev. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

New website
by Ge van Geldorp 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Thursday afternoon (UTC) the website will be unavailable for some time. We're going to make the switch to the new website design then. At the same time, we're moving to www.reactos.org as the primary name for the website, with www.reactos.com being an alias (you'll be redirected automatically to www.reactos.org if you use the old name). The mailing lists are also going to be moved from reactos.com to reactos.org, so if you have filtering in place please take this into account. Many thanks to Michael Wirth and especially Klemens Friedl who put a lot of effort in the new site. Gé van Geldorp.

I highly agree with this move. I used to administer some vbulletin forums, and I can't speak highly enough about them. Viewing pleasure, secure and feature packed.

Networking problem
by Jacques Mony 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, I have trouble with ReactOS networking. Here is what I've tried so far: First, I have made most of the tests under qemu 0.7.2 running on Windows 2000 (I have the same results on Linux and Windows XP... using same version of qemu). I use the option "-user-net". In ReactOS, I configured my network as follow: Gateway: 10.0.2.2 IP Address: 10.0.2.15 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 I did also give a value to the nameserver, but it doesn't matter for the problem I have. - I can ping 10.0.2.2 from ReactOS (I assume this tells me the userland tcp/ip stack of qemu works properly, as well as ReactOS settings). On the host, I have a webserver (IIS) and an FTP server running, as well as SSH. >From ReactOS: - If I type "telnet 10.0.2.2 80 " and then enter some HTTP request (GET / HTTP/1.0), I will only get an amount (1 to many) of blank lines. In other words: no content. - If I type "ftp 10.0.2.2 ", the ftp client seems to send a username by itself ("6-w" !?). So my FTP tests stop here. - If I type "telnet 10.0.2.2 22", I will get the SSH version message, and when I type something, I get a "protocol mismatch" error, which looks normal. - If I type "wget 10.0.2.2", it seems to connect (the webserver gets the query), but then it will say it received empty data and will loop doing this forever. - I also tried lynx. Lynx gave me the most interesting results. I was able to connect to the server, ask me for a cookie, receive some headers and finally, since my password wasn't good, it gave me the IIS permission denied page. HOWEVER, there were a lot of error messages during the process. Here is the one that appeared the most often: "Alert!: Unexpected read error" There were also a lot of "Alert!: Invalid header "...."" What I seem to understand is that some data is lost from the packets. Something like final characters. I never had this kind of trouble with other OS running under qemu, so I guess the problem is in ReactOS TCP/IP stack. But I also seem to be the only one to have this kind of problem. Any idea where I should look first? I'm pretty new to ReactOS and windows programming, but I'll do what I can to provide more detail or... fix this.

Big FATX driver.
by Oscar Saavedra 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hi. It is a noob question, so please be patient. Ive read you've made a fatx driver and you are using it for the development on the xbox. Now, i'd like to know if this fatx driver can be used to access an unlocked fatx HD connected to a i386 machine that is booting the reactOS live CD. Am i dreaming? Or can this be done? I just want to know if i could recover my multimedia files from the F partition using my PC some day.

Those are great news indeed. I've googled and didn't found much info about how to make it. Before i dive in a winxp services pool, can you recommend me any place with info about it?

Our vfatfs.sys has been tested in Windows before so it should work if you wanted to do it now. Installing our driver on Windows would be a bit of a pain because you would need to manually add the service and tell Windows to use it to mount that drive but I know some people have tested the driver before under Win2k.

A little hello
by Jacques Mony 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi everyone, I'm new on the list, but I've been watching ReactOS for a while now. I'm not a Win32 API specialists, but I'm pretty sure I can help. Once my environment is set up I should be able to contribute. Could anyone tell me which part of ReactOS is the most in need of programming? -- Jacques Mony Programmeur-Analyste Les services conseils Systématix inc.

Re: Cash for Trademark - reallocate Donation to hurricane efforts?
by Al Hartman 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

I have to agree. I donated FOR ReactOS, and want my money to go there. I can donate seperately for the Hurricane. If the ReactOS Developers want to have a charity drive to donate funds for the Hurricane Relief, that's fine. But, redirecting monies donated for ReactOS just seems wrong to me.

SYSTEMS 2005 in Munchen, 24-28 October'05
by Aleksey Bragin 04 Sep '05

04 Sep '05

Hello, we got a good chance to represent ReactOS at Systems expo/conference in Munchen, which takes place 24-28 October. Do we have anyone who could come? I'm not sure if I can come (I will try to), but it's gonna be a little hard and not so fun for me to run the stand alone. SYSTEMS is a great place to represent ReactOS for business market and to get some companies interested in it. http://www.systems.de (there is english version also) WBR, Aleksey.
