Bug has been identified as being a problem with the server.  The command

TOP 1 0

fails.  Basically, I am just trying retrieve the header of the article with
no message lines.  I'll go back and check the RFC to see who's wrong.

Subject: Mosaic - Sound - Media Player


Can someone tell me why the Windows Media Player pops up whenever Mosaic begins
to play a sound file?  The Media Player gives me the following error and then
hangs.

    Cannot determine the device type form the given filename extension

I originally did associations for .au and .wav files using Windows Setup but I
have since taken that off.  My file manager refuses to make directories and
delete directories.  I wonder if this is the problem?  When I input au and wav
extensions in the associations procedure, the procedure gives me (none).  I
must have done something to the mosaic.ini file because wplany/speaker work
outside of Mosaic.  Could someone please help?

Regards,

Terry Bailey

I just tried ntalking to someone who is not logged in and it worked fine.
WinTalk simply returns a message telling me that the person I'm trying to talk
to is not on.

Subject: Re: How many open socket connections can winsock handle?

In article <2l2kkt$[e-mail]> [e-mail] (S.Goutham) writes:

   How many open socket connections can winsock handle? Is it left to
   the winsock implementor? I know that winsock.h has a default of
   64. But does it depend on the individual tcpip stack? For
   example on the Novell stack, I cannot complete more than 6
   connections. It says no more buffer space error. Do all stacks
   have some setting related to this that is configurable?


   Also, Is it a good or bad design to have , say 100 connections,
   always open at all times? especially with respect to using
   a pc based tcp-ip stack.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated. ( By the way, am using
   all async. socket calls and no blocking ones).

   Goutham.

Most winsock will give you at least 16 socket, You can check the WSADATA
return from WSAStartup() to see how many MAY be available. With Lan Workplace
you will need to set the tcp_sockets member of the Protocol TCPIP section to
get more than 6 sockets. But remember, it only will handle 32 at best, and it
allocates tcp sockets first. So if you configure for 32 or greater tcp sockets
you will not get any udp sockets.

Subject: DDE/winsock

Does anyone know of a DDE to winsock interface?  We want to write some cross-
platform applications in VB and this would make the Windows side much easier.

Thanks,

Subject: CryNwr send_pkt under DPMI (Windows 3.1)

Hi,

  I am trying to install a customized protocol over UDP/IP tunnel,
  all included in a COMM.DLL under Windows, just like WinSock!
  I have done the following already:

  (1) Allocate Real Mode Call back routine for the CryNwr packet driver
  call back function in AccessType().

  (2) Allocate DosGlobalMemory for buffers passed to Real Mode CryNwr
  packet driver.

  (3) Uses DPMI provide Real Mode Interrupt call to pass software
  Interrupts to CryNwr driver.

  I can watch Driver_Info()  passed back valid results like DIX class!

  I can receive ARP response back under the CryNwr call back, & get
  IP->EtherNet addresses resolved OK!

  ** But in order to send the ARP request out, under DPMI service interrupt
  to CryNwr Driver, I have to follow up with a dozen of Windows _lwrite
  calls even with 1 byte to a file!

  Without those dummy calls after the CryNwr send_pkt function under DPMI
  will not send the packet out on the LAN
  ( I have  LANwatch to watch it coming)

  How to make send_pkt() works under DPMI, without those dummy _lwrite
  Windows 3.1 call()??? Or what side effects these dummy _lwrite cause
  to enable the CryNwr send_pkt()?

  Thanks for any INFO!
