excluded

by jh

Hi, I have tested two programmes with ros on my laptop, in real hardware. The first nPOP Ver 1.0.2 http://www.nakka.com/ ( freeware ) works as far as I can test it, the other one i-Safer Winsock Firewall http://winsockfirewall.sourceforge.net/ (oss) puts itself on the task bar as a minimised window, but does not display the programme on the desktop. They have been test with a binary snapshot from December, which has no networking in it. Now that there are no longer any binaries releases available, I feel excluded and I am no longer able to do any meaningful testing. Will there ever be any more binary releases? I have no cd burner, so I cannot use the iso images. regards, jh

Can MingW compile itself under react OS?

by Kenneth Long

Hi, I'm a newbie here. This is a really cool project. I was wondering MingW can compile itself under reactOS, then take the new compiled version, and compile it self again and generate a stable MingW tool chain can it then build the ReactOS system? Sort like doing a "emerge -system" in Gentoo's Portage? Thanks, Ken

ROS banner graphics

by Gedi

I need to get hold of the ReactOS banner graphics to make some alterations for ibrowsers default webpage. The one on reactos.com has the words 'user site', which needs to be removed and/or replaced. I've tried getting hold of Jason, but I'm not getting a reply. Does anyone else have any ideas where I can get it from, or if someone would be willing to do the mods? Thanks, Ged.

gethostbyaddr() windows behaviour / fixing bad windows behaviour in general

by Jan Tisje

Hi, I just found the answer to a problem I often had with windows: http://windump.polito.it/misc/faq.htm#Q-10 -----8<-----8<-----8<----- Q-10: Why WinDump hangs for some seconds while capturing? How can I avoid it? A: The cause of the slowness is that is that gethostbyaddr(), used by Windump to resolve the host names, on Windows actually uses more than just DNS and hosts files to translate IP addresses to names: it also tries using NetBIOS-over-TCP to do the translation. The translation of an IP address to a NetBIOS name requires to send a NetBIOS Name Service Node Status Request (see section 4.2.17 of RFC 1002) to the IP address, and wait for a reply: the reply will have the machine's NetBIOS name. However, if the machine in question isn't running any NetBIOS name service code (most non-Windows boxes don't), no reply will come back. An ICMP Port Unreachable might get sent out, but that might not cause an error to get delivered to the socket on which the request was sent. Therefore, the machine trying to get the name might have to wait for the request to time out before concluding that it can't get the name for that IP address using NetBIOS. That could take a significant amount of time. -----8<-----8<-----8<----- I still hope Reactos will fix all those annoying bugs of Windows. Please allow me to ask if you really did/will fix this problem. Your answer will significantly increase or decrease my interest in the reactos project. :-) Because it throws a light on your opinion about dealing with problems like this. Currently I hope reactos will be a nice and small replacement for all fat and intransparent MS stuff. (ie remove everything except basic OS) btw, did anybody read the Bill Gates interview in the Spiegel? Every sentence was a lie. He is my most hated person after Bush byebye and continue good work. World is waiting for ya. Jan

Re: Wine legalities

by Steven Edwards

Hi Jer, The ReactOS Project consulted a IP lawyer and came up with a draft policy statement. Maybe the two projects could work together on this. http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-general/2005-January/001402.html Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

reactos.com this weekend

by Ge van Geldorp

Some urgent maintenance needs to be carried out on the electrical installation in the building that houses the reactos.com box. To perform this maintenance, power will be shutdown Friday night till Sunday morning. I will be moving reactos.com web- and mailservices to a fallback box. This should take place some time Friday. Switch back will be Sunday. The bandwidth capacity of the fallback box is much lower than that of the main box, so please don't plan on submitting stories to SlashDot this weekend... Gé van Geldorp.

There were 2 things, for me, that weren't made clear: - The issue of using the same names for the OS API Although this is the only way, are there no copyright infringements in doing this? - Using the same names for interface components (e.g. start, control panel, explorer) Again, do Microsoft not have some form of copyright on this? I picked up 2 small mistakes. 2b) While coding style may not 'be' covered by copyright, There is a '>' at the start of 'TRADE SECRET ISSUES'.
