Hi all, And apologies in advance for the basic nature of this question. I know that managed C++ is odviously code managed by the.NET CLR. But I don't understand how it is different from visual C++ that runs under the .NET CLR? Are visual C++ and managed c++ the same? I don't think they are but...

Hi All, Can anyone explain the behaviour of the following code? //ulong test1 = 5555555555555555555 * 1000; ulong test1 = 5555555555555555555; test1 = test1 * 1000; Console.WriteLine(test1); (refering to the comment out line) If you try to create the variable from a huge number * 1000 the...

Thanks Sympolgy, Putting in the Orange Dns servers didn't actually help. It solved the routers own self diagnosed DNS error but still only google pages would display (of the small number I tried). thanks for the IPs , I will try them next time I visit the in laws. i think they've just gone back...

Thank you very much roger I'll give them a try Much appreciated. BN

Hi All, I'm trying to help my sister in law get her broadband router working. It connects to the web and finds google really fast but then hangs for ages when you select a page from anywhere else. Its the DNS lookup that's the problem according to the diagnostics. The router is set to get the...

I think I can sort it all out burt there is one thing stopping me and that is handling the pressing of the down and up keys. at the moment I've got these two lines window.onkeydown=getComps; document.onkeydown = getComps; and the function that handles it: function getComps(e) { --- --- }...

Thanks for your reply, The AJAX side of things is adapted from the code at w3schools. The XMLHttpRequest object calls a PHP script that queries the database and returns the results as echoed HTML - each search result in it own div holder, as follows...

Hi all, I'm creating an autosuggestion input box. The only thing left I need to do is to implement the up/down arrow functionality (when the user presses the down arrow key it starts to cycle through the suggestion list). My autosuggestion list is populated using a seperate DIV for each...

Hi Ben, Nope, doesn't want to know. Just sits there trying to get an IP address (the router set to dih out the IPS). Can't connect via 192.168.0.1 either. The new card is doing great and I can go back to the router from the USB modem which means the Mrs gets the web back which is good news for...

New network card in, all working! It was the onboard network card after all. Thanks for all your input, I've learnt 'a shed load'. BN

Sorry, I don't think I've been clear. I can get the non working PC to work by linking up to a USB modem I used to use before I got the router. So this cuts the netwok card out of the equation. I'm sure it's the network catd, I'll order one today and let you know. Thanks again for all your help...

I actually have another installation of windows on my PC (not a different user an actual duel boot separate install). Just booted that up and it doesn't work either. To me its beginning to sound like it may be my network adapter (built into the motherboard (abit an8 32x)).

Thanks all, I've tried different ports and I'm begining to think it's my network card, but it shows up as connected fine so i don't know. Thanks for the links BBB, just going through those now but the computer browser is disabled on the working machine so I don't think thi is the issue. Very...

Hi Simon, Nothing in the event log. 'Computer Browser' couldn't start but I enabled that and rebooted but still no success. I enabled the DHCP server on the router, the working machine automatically got it's new IP in under a second. The non working PC thought about it for a while and returned...

Hi Simon, Sorry, that's drifting out of my undesrtanding. In the properties of internet protocol (TCP/IP) the Ip setup is statically set up rather than 'assigned dynamically' ip: 192.168.0.2 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 defaultgateway: 192.168.0.1 Is that what you're reffering to? thanks bn
