Re: [twsocket] FTP Timeout Problem
For a server yes, but it's not trouble if you know the ports it's configured to use, and make appropriate holes in the Server's firewall. The client end, even for secure FTP still does not need any firewall/router meddlings when Passive mode is used, as again it only makes outgoing connections, just like (well, there are differences) a web browser going to a secure page. As earlier, I run a couple of such boxes, and once the server end is sorted, the clients just work with no fuss at all. Have a good weekend.

Re: [twsocket] FTP Timeout Problem
Passive mode *Should not* need any firewall hole poking, at the Client end. That's the beauty of Passive mode! The client only ever makes outgoing connections, it never has to receive an incoming one. Any half decent firewall or NAT router, will handle all that transparently. It's worth checking that Win7's own firewall doesnt block outgoing requests from *unknown* apps though. But yes you *will* most certainly need to explicitly perforate the firewall at the Server end, for all ports, and port ranges the FTP server will ever use. Regards.

Re: [twsocket] UDP receive issue from a Windows service
Surely, an attached debugger is going to use some CPU time, however small even if nothing triggers it, therefore, the debugged program cycle timing will change somehow, however small. Plus, however the debugger works, it could be forcing some other process (in the kernel) to do it's job more often, so keeping something up-to-date, that might otherwise slip a bit without that constant poking. I've also seen similar things (with other high speed I/O) in the past, it's 99% of the time, a timing problem. Somethings on the ragged edge, and any attached process (Debugger or ???) just helps that little bit by sneeking in a few extra nS somewhere. Multi core CPU's or HyperThreading seem to provoke this sort of mayhem more than most.. Can you dedicate your program to one core, and one core only? You did say TCP works OK, the extra overhead of that stack probably add's some time, and/or forces some data table updating, helping things too. Remember, Windows is not a real time system. Plus, it's not entirely unknown for MS to do things in not quite the right way. (As the rest of the world sees it anyway...) It could of course, be something completely different, to quote Monty Python... I'll get me coat.. Dave B. -Original Message- From: Francois PIETTE [mailto:francois.pie...@skynet.be] I think that if you consider what I suggested before, might help you... It maybe has to do with extra process time the debugger gives Thanks for insisting. Which extra process time do you mean ? The debugger has just to be attached. No need to set any breakpoint nor single step. Just attach. IMO, when a debugger is attached, the process is not slowed down. I would also add that there is definetely no CPU time issue, nor network I/O issue with the application. Every second, it send a single UDP datagram (A SNMP get request) and expect a single UDP datagram (A SNMP get reply). A single socket is used for both send and receive and datagram fits in winsock receive buffer. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Re: [twsocket] PASV fallback to public IP
-Original Message- From: Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd [mailto:an...@magsys.co.uk] Sent: 07 September 2010 09:47 To: twsocket@elists.org Subject: Re: [twsocket] PASV fallback to public IP Some FTP servers return wrong IP for PASV command (private instead of public). In such cases, obviously, FTP component can't connect to the server. This is not really an FTP server issue, but a poorly designed NAT router that has not replaced the private IP address with a public IP. Filezilla is smart enough to detect this and switch to public IP, instead: Detecting the wrong address is easy, but whether replacing it with a public address will do anything useful is more debatable since the NAT router may not know which private IP address is the intended destination of the incoming TCP connection. NAT routers have to be designed to understand the FTP protocol, and parse the control channel for private IP addresses and forward connections appropriately. Normally this is all hidden and you never know it's happening. Do you have a specific example of a live public server returning a private IP that we can test? It will be very difficult to set-up, since it needs a crappy NAT router. Angus As a FileZilla client and server user of some years. Servers that return a Private (LAN) IP in a Passsive Mode parameter value, are probably misconfigured by their owners, rather than any deficiancy in the routers used. F'Zilla can only detect your WAN IP, if you point it to a suitable external site/service that will report back your WAN IP. Sadly, not all of them do it in a way F'Zilla can reliably handle. You could use a local to you service, that in turn polls your router setup pages to find the WAN IP currently in use, but every router is different. If you have a dynamic WAN IP as most home users do, you can use an external service such as DynDns so you can have a regular domain name who's resolved IP follows your actual IP as it changes from time to time (with a short delay...) Then, in F'Zilla (and I guess in any ICS created server) you can find your outside (WAN) IP, by doing a DNS query on yourself (in FZ, you put your domain name in the Passive Mode Settings dialog, Use the following IP field) that in turn will return your current WAN IP address, that is then used as part of the client Passive mode setup protocol. Or, you ask your ISP for a fixed IP account. :) The only thing you need to do to any routers in line, is make sure that their port forwarding rules are setup, so that *All* the FTP Data port(s) you use, are passed to the machine on your LAN that is running the server. The client of course, does not need to make any such adjustments, they only ever initiate outgoing connections, so no port forwarding needs to be done. Regards.

[twsocket] OT: Old vs New (Was RE: Should ICS support IPv6 on W2K?)
Hi. There is still lots of in-house and some vendor support and development for 2k among the indipendants. As just swapping out the embedded PC is nowhere near as easy as it would be in an office or home environment. The lack of EISA slots and Real COM ports, for existing mega expensive hardware interface adapters being a *Huge* problem with new PC's, even some of the so called Industrial units. Resulting in many such devices do not have any viable replacement, other than from a stock of existing spares. The same issues are now being seen with newer machines that have PCI slots and cards. Hence older embedded PC's are getting overhauled and repaired often, not replaced with new. And of course, with the new OS's, you often get driver issues with older hardware that is not supported in the new OS.(Yes, I know some makers will provide them for you, if you order several machines, but at an outlandish cost.) USB? In Industry. Forget it, it's way too fragile, mechanically and electrically. It's all a bit of a nightmare for some of us. But otherwise, all agreed with. Have to say though, that often the so called New development on the new OS's are only to replace existing time served and proven apps and tools on the older. Often with less stability and reliability as a result (but they look pretty!) Where as in the past a project development team might have stayed in a company for a few years, nowadays, once the product is passed to production (hardware or software) the designers seem to run to the four corners of the earth, result, long term buggy New products, that replace otherwise reliable and stable older stuff, with near zero chance of being fixed, so a short product life. Progress? Guess someone makes money out of it... Anyway, back to my hot oil and HV power supplies!Something just went Bang!... No software involvement, other than to reset a DMM that will have probably been nuked by the spike, and latched up as a result. (Mk1 digit on power swith!)

Re: [twsocket] Specify full paths to libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll
Hi... Put them in a unique folder/directory, available to all app's. An easy (if dirty) way, is in the System32 folder under Windows (or WinNT.) Make sure you have one set, AND ONLY ONE SET of them on your system, and all apps etc will use them as needed, so they only see the same version. Or, put them in their own folder, and add the direct path to that in the systems default search path. When an app call's another resource, it first searches it's own (same) local path where the main .exe is. If it isn't there, it them searches Windows system path(s) if still not found, then according to the default search path, as defined by the system variables. Unless you specify the exact path and file you want. You can often make a Huge performance improvement, knowing how to manipulate paths etc. Keeping the default search path short helps a lot, as does setting up shortcuts to app's correctly, so the app stars in the corect folder, hence has a direct path to it's own needed resources. You can also Register them with Windows, so Windows will only ever look in one place. It can speed things up a lot, but at the expense of some flexability. This is exactly why some app's misbehave on some systems, and not on others. because they find other versions of the same DLL's (typicaly) before the ones you realy want them to use. A little experimenting with any compiler and making some simple DLL's that pass back a name (or one DLL that passes back it's own path) as a string to the caller, and then scatter coppies in the usual places, and you might be suprised what call's what and when. The default install's of Delphi in the past, do not do the optimum thing either, for the health of the system as a whole. Been there, got the 'T' shirt, and the numb brain cells etc... Regards.

Re: [twsocket] Single port FTP
Cant honestly see what the problem was... Passive FTP is a well established mode, and is router/firewall (at the client) friendly as they only ever make outgoing connections. The only advantage I can see with this, is that the server side router/firewall only needs one port forwarded. Disadvantage? How do you handle multiple users and data streams with everything trying to get through one port? The IETF link didn't work for me, even after unwrapping it (and removing the ) I get a 404 error.

Re: [twsocket] Single port FTP
Hmmm... I still don't see what the problem was this is trying to get round. I run two FTP servers at different sites, and have never had any router/firewall problems as they both tell the client to use Passive mode, so the client only ever makes outgoing connections, and by default, any router/firewall that will allow an outgoing connect, will pass any replies back, for any number of opened data channels. It's usualy the server end that needs holes poked in the firewall, and or port forwarding setup on the router. After all, Passive mode was specificaly developed to make the client side much easier so users and customers etc, don't have to mess with their security settings. I also keep well away from using port 21 for anything exposed to the www. It must be one of the most highly probed ports on the net, after the usual windows offerings and port 80. Oh well..

Re: [twsocket] HttpCli / LAN / Router / Proxy / ?Help!
You could put your own entries in the systems Hosts files. So that for example PC1 would resolve to 192.168.1.100. One set of entries common to all machines should do the trick... Find that file at... C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in XP. Add entries such as. 192.168.1.100 PC1 192.168.1.101 PC2 Note! Only put entries in a PC's file, for the Other PC's on the network, not itself. Windows (and many other OS's) will always look up the Hosts file entry, before doing an DNS queries. So, anything in there takes presidence. This is also one way to hijack a PC, though not very common now, as it's too well known, and easy to fix. But... If you have all the PC addresses assigned by DHCP from the router (the normal way these days) they could change outside of your control, when they power up next time. Solutions. Firstly, do not use automaticly detect settings in the Internet setting dialog. It is posible for that protocol to get out and your PC connection then gets diverted via someone else. It's rare, but it can happen. Set each PC to use your router as their DNS servers, this may be done by DHCP too. The router itself will then pass the request for sites unknown to it, to your ISP, and keep a local copy of the most frequent ones you use, well some routers do that, your PC's do not need to know anything about your ISP, only the router needs that info. If the router supports it (most do) use LAN address reservation so that it will always keep one particular address reserved for a particular MAC address, regardless of if it is is connected or not. You can usualy set up many such entries. Fixed addresses at each PC. That may be OK for machines that dont physicaly move outside your network, but any laptops would then need some fiddling to allow to connect to a Hotspot or other LAN. Check that any instances of the XP firewall, has the appropriate exceptions enabled for your application, and to allow incomming connections from other Trusted PC's on your own LAN. As you are behind a router, you could probably disable the XP firewall. But, if one other PC picks up something malicious when surfing the web, that could then get to the other unprotected PC's if their firewall's are down, if it wanted to. You may also find that the router (again, many offer this.. Wireless Isolation Netgear call it for example) will activly prevent a wireless machine, from seeing any other wireless connected devices! Good if you run a hotspot, but an absolute pain if you just want a home LAN. If you have file sharing working OK between the WiFi PC's, at least that should not be the problem. Lastly, when you have all the WiFi gadgets working with each other, learn how to, and use WPA/PSK encryption for the WiFi. XP makes it very easy to get multiple machines all connected to the same router/accress point, so long as you have a USB stick to move the settings arround with. But, please use a Good passphrase for the WPA key (non-dictionary words and numbers) or there is a remote chance it could be discovered with a dictionary attack... NOTE! This is not the same as someone useing one of the WEP crackers, WEP (NOT WPA) has a well known vulnerability. WPA with a good key phrase, is regarded as all but unbustable.

[twsocket] Reverse ARP?
Hi.. Does anyone here know how to implement a Reverse ARP request? I have a piece of hardware that has a network port for remote control (RJ45, 10/100 UTP etc) but next to no physical user interface, but it does support IP address assignment by DHCP. The documentation says to do a Ping cXX (Where XX is the last 6 digits of it's hardware address, with no -'s or :'s) to discover it's assigned IP address, after that to use Telnet client to control it's functions. Needless to say, that doesn't work on any system I've tried. In fact, I can find no implementation of the Ping command that takes has a c subcommand and paramater like that, in either the Windows or Linux world.. So, after extensive googling etc (and a few confusing RFC's) I find I need to do whats called a Reverse ARP request... Can this be done with ICS? Or, is it Socket programming time Cheers. Dave B.

Re: [twsocket] Reverse ARP?
Thanks Angus... I need to do this in a way so as to minimaly impact the network as a whole, while discovering the gadgets IP address. The last time I Pinged an entire (class C) subnet, I got a visit from IT!.. ;-) I think they were more upset I knew as much as they did about such things... The unit itself is an industrial RF amplifier, the network port it has is a bought in part I've discovered, that supplier (Lantronix) have some tools available to do this, but they are not exactly user (read, less than capable customer who knows nothing about networks) friendly, as they have way too many opertunities to mangle the settings, or are not available for redistribution, such as on the units CD manual disk.. We know the unit's MAC address, it's printed on the case, we just need to query it to find it's assigned IP address. Querying the DHCP server is out of the question sadly, even though I know how to, I don't have the rights to do so. I'd doubt if any user would either. Oh well, the search continues.

If the hardware sets it's IP address using DHCP, then the DHCP server should be announce the address, but whether this is accessible programmatically is another issue. You can ping the local subnet to find which IP addresses are in use, and try to connect to find your device. Using a threaded ping, you can send off 253 pings at the same time to avoid all the timeouts waiting for responses. The Microsoft IP Helper APIs do offer some ARP functions, but they appear to relate only to ARP on the local PC. There is a SendARP function, but it just returns the MAC address for a remote PC by IP address, whereas you want the reverse.

Re: [twsocket] UDP Newbie...
If you've not already done so (Assuming you're using XP) Make an Exception in Windows Firewall settings, for your application (exe file name) and the port number it listens on. Especialy if it needs to accept incoming data from outside the physical (or virtual) PC. *Usually* XP's Windows firewall does not affect anything communicating locally with the Localhost address (127.0.0.1) But it's a common trip point, when things work locally, but not when part is running on another PC. Another hint, use different ports to listen on, and talk with. That helps enormously when poth parts of the scheme are on the same physical PC. Even if you are trying to communicate between two PC's, their firewall's only need to know about their Incoming data ports, they will pass outgoing traffic with no problem. That relates to XP's own internal (Windows) firewall, in general if you use something else (instead of, or as well as) it may need to be set to allow outgoing traffic as well, Zone Alarm is one such, though that will popup and tell you if something is trying to send stuff to the internet... Note! If you have ZoneAlarm, even if you Disable the ZA firewall at boot time, it has a habit of blocking everything, as all you disable is the client, not the service, and it seems if the service is running in the background, but you've not let the client start, it blocks stuff by default.

Re: [twsocket] Problem using same UDP port for both listen and send
Hi... Unless you are using an existing known protocol, in which case you'd idealy use one of the recognised existing port numbers Port 80, 8008, 8080 for an HTTP server for example. Letting the system pick a random port to listen on as a server is a bit unproductive, as how would you inform any likely clients (not on the same machine) what server port to connect to?... Best I think to pick a specific port number to start with for the server to create and listen on, and then let the clients pick a unused port for them to talk with, to connect to your server that is listnening on a known port. (UDP is a connectionless protocol of course) It is posible to use the same port number to talk and listen on, but not generaly on the same physical machine for both a client and server, something has to be different between them, either the IP address, or port number (or both) Or, the system hasn't a clue as to who what where etc... I guess you could define another localhost address, 127.0.0.2 for example perhaps? AFIK there is no reason why a single machine can't have multiple local loopback addresses. Unless someone else knows different. Then you could use the same Port number for both client and server, with care... Check out... http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers For typical known port numbers, some may be of use, many are worth avoiding! (to keep script kiddies away, and to avoid strange connect requests)... Note, that ports in the range of... 49152 through 65535 are avaialable for Private or Dynamic port assignments. You can use any of them for anything, and being way up there in High Port Land should be well out of the way of any malicious port scanners looking for something to play with Hope something helps..

Re: [twsocket] Problem using same UDP port for both listen and send
Hi Dod.. No problem, and yes I also get hit by things like this, not only in software!... Trouble is, the longer we keep fixing these sort of things, the more of them we get to do! Supose it keeps us out of trouble, or does it?.. Cheers.

Neverless, I found a workaround. Regards. DB Unless you are using an existing known protocol, in which case you'd DB idealy use one of the recognised existing port numbers Port 80, DB 8008, 8080 for an HTTP server for example. DB Letting the system pick a random port to listen on as a server is a DB bit unproductive, as how would you inform any likely clients (not on DB the same machine) what server port to connect to?... DB Best I think to pick a specific port number to start with for the DB server to create and listen on, and then let the clients pick a DB unused port for them to talk with, to connect to your server that is listnening on a DB known port. (UDP is a connectionless protocol of course) DB It is posible to use the same port number to talk and listen on, but DB not generaly on the same physical machine for both a client and DB server, something has to be different between them, either the IP address, or DB port number (or both) Or, the system hasn't a clue as to who what DB where etc... DB I guess you could define another localhost address, 127.0.0.2 for DB example perhaps? AFIK there is no reason why a single machine can't DB have multiple local loopback addresses. Unless someone else knows DB different. Then you could use the same Port number for both DB client and server, with care... DB Check out... DB http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers DB For typical known port numbers, some may be of use, many are worth DB avoiding! (to keep script kiddies away, and to avoid strange DB connect requests)... DB Note, that ports in the range of... DB 49152 through 65535 are avaialable for Private or Dynamic port DB assignments. You can use any of them for anything, and being way up DB there in High Port Land should be well out of the way of any DB malicious port scanners looking for something to play with DB Hope something helps..

Re: [twsocket] UDP Hole Punching
H Probably right, Hamachi run's on full blown Windows (NT based), Linux or Apple systems. Guess in principle it could run on something else, but it's not open source. Take a look at Tinc. That is an open source VPN system. Maybe that could be adapted to your needs? http://www.tinc-vpn.org/ I don't know much about the mobile platform arena, but from my own experiments and other messings, though UDP is easier to program (at least I find it so) TCP is better at maintaining links, especaily through multiple routers and firewall's etc. If you have control of the routers in question, it's not dificult to manualy setup port forwarding of course, and there is the questionable UPnP protocol where an Application can do it for itself. But, that can also allow some very bad things to happen in regard to network security. As you obviously know more about the mobile environment than I do, I'll bow out now. But with one question in return... Do you (or anyone else) know of a generic Telnet client for phones like the N6110? It'd be so usefull.. Cheers.

Re: [twsocket] AN: New e-mail protocol (spam free and more!)
I suspect that's half the point. Only like equipped users can communicate. Guess there could be a use in the financial or military markets, or other intentionaly closed environments... There again, I'd also guess they have such systems implemented already? Servers, nothing to stop you delivering directly, as many corporate systems do already, ours included, so long as you know the IP or domain address of course... I suspect for the above type of users, regular POP/SMTP/IMAP etc incompatability would not be a problem! Have to say though, spam is primeraly user driven from personal experience, from website form filling and so on. And what happens when a spammer gets hold of one of these secure mailer clients etc. Wonder why PGP or Open GPG is not as popular as it could be? There are plugins that integrate OK with the likes of Outlook (ugh!) Thunderbird, Pegasus etc... Ah, of course, the powers that be, like to watch what goes on Silly me... Cheers..
