Can you do me a favor, and put the attached file (unzipped) into your root web directory? Same place as sitemap.asp. Then link it and try it. Does it show your site’s navigation (listed, not like sitemap.asp is supposed to do. I decided to learn PHP today , so I am going to make a php version that should work on your site. But I want to make sure what I wrote works on another php enabled server, since it took me an hour to set mine IIS up with php extensions.

When I did a whois search, it brought up Verio. Wierd, your hosting must lease their IP’s from them.

Anywho, I looked at the UK Space 4 U site, and it doesn’t allow for ASP. ASP is Active Server Pages. It is a server side script. What you see in Front Page is the ASP code. But when it is run on an ASP enabled web, you won’t see anything that is between the flags. Anything between those flags is ‘read’ by the server, and not sent to the user. That allows for ‘dynamic’ pages. Your site allows for PHP, which is the PERL version of ASP. I may see if I can write that thing in PERL. Who knows. If I do, I’ll post it here.

Okay, under Verio’s packages, you’d need at least the Bronze Windows 2000 package, which will let you run ASP code.

Okay, already figured out your hosted by Verio….I’m looking at their site now…

You’re right, it’s not doing anything. The problem is, the webserver isn’t reading the ASP as ASP, it’s reading it all as HTML, because you get the ASP code when you view the source, instead of what the ASP code is supposed to kick out.

Does your hosting service support ASP? (What’s you’re hosting service?)

Wow, the first response to my ‘Star Post’ I posted weeks ago!

I feel all giddy now.

As to your question, you don’t have to do anything with it. Just save/upload it to your website. Then put a link on a page so you can get to it. (Or get to it manually http://mysite/sitemap.asp). You can put the .asp file anywhere on your site, it doesn’t matter, and it will display the sitemap of your site (based on your Frontpages Navigation.)

It does allow three different ways to display. Once you have uploaded it, and viewed it, you can change the hyperlink that directs you to it to have ?View=AllBullets or ?View=ChildBullets these are called ‘QueryString’s. The ASP file reads it. If it doesn’t see any, it defaults to just using Indentions (?View=Indented does that too), if it does see a value for ‘View’, it uses the method requested.

Let me know if this doesn’t answer you question.

Maybe we should startup a new retail chain….How about ‘Hogs and Hard Drives’. Everything that one needs to hit the open road, or surf the information highway!

Hey no problem. It’s a danger with technology lately. They start making all of these ‘smart’ components, so it seems to be as simple as plugging in your mouse, but their documentation usually gets into the technical stuff at a high ‘techie’ level, so if you need to customize anything, if you don’t have a PhD in networking, you’re up a creek!

Did you try pluggin in Lan to Lan?

I had the same problem. I was just guessing that it would work like that. My sample should work fine though. What I did in my sample, is on the OnClick Event of the first combobox, where you refresh the second one, after you refresh it, set it to 0. 0 should not be a Department ID (unless you get into Billions of Departments, then it can roll over to 0). Then, in the query, instead of using IsNull, just check if it equals 0. (Take a look at the sample I posted, it all works in there.)

Glad to help. A little warning on the tutorial, the grammar gets pretty bad sometimes, I just haven’t had time to go back and edit it.

Hey, just saw your profile says you live in Dallas. I work in Dallas, near Garland. Next time you need an IDE cable, give me a holler….I’ll give you one for free!

Here’s an example of how to do this:

Dim strTemp as String
Dim f as Long
Dim strData as String
strTemp=Dir(“C:MyFolder*.txt”)
Do until strTemp=””
f=FreeFile
Open “C:MyFolder” & strTemp For Binary Access Read As f
strData=Space(LOF(f))
Get f,,strData
ProcessTextFileData strData
Close f
Kill “C:MyFolder” & strTemp
strTemp=Dir
Loop

In my example above, ProcessTextFileData would be a function you write, with an string argument that this example would feed it. This example will run through every .txt file within the folder a folder on the C: drive root called ‘MyFolder’. It also deletes the file once it is processed (the Kill statement), of course you may want your ‘processing’ function to return true or false as to whether it worked or not, before you delete the file.

Hope this helps.

If you need it run regardless of whether or not someone is logged in, I recommend the NTSRV.OCX, which is an activeX control that let’s you turn your VB program into an NT Service.

Does your server boot up at least? If so, I recommend trying Windows Update to install the latest updates. I say this because the method I use whenever I install an OS on a machine, I install everything from the CD, and then go to Windows Update and download all applicable updates. I have only had one issue with using Windows Update, and that was an oddball video driver problem, on a Multi-monitor system.

Okay, let’s say your first router is 192.168.0.1, with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. And then let’s say you have two pc’s on there, 192.168.0.2 and .3. Both of those IP Addresses have a gateway of 192.168.0.1. If you remove the gateway setting, both PC’s on that subnet will still be able to see each other. Why? Because the gateway is only used when an IP Address can’t be found on their subnet. Thus removing the gateway will prevent them from seeing the internet, since they don’t know where to go, to find IP Addresses off of their subnet.

Now, let’s take the second router, you said it’s 192.168.2.2 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Let’s put two PC’s on it’s LAN ports, with 192.168.2.3 and .4. Everything above applies, except their gateway is 192.168.2.2. Now plug the second router’s WAN into the first router’s LAN. Nothing will see each other, right? Well, sort of. When 192.168.2.3 is asked to find 192.168.0.2, it goes to it’s gateway (the second router) at 192.168.2.2 and the router takes a look at what is on the other end. IT SEES 192.168.0.2, so it should send the packets to that machine. However, that machine is getting packets with a return address of 192.168.2.3, which it doesn’t see on it’s subnet. So when it goes to return the packets, it is going to send them to 192.168.0.1, which is IT’S Gateway (router). 192.168.0.1 is not going to see 192.168.2.3 on it’s WAN, because it’s WAN is connected to the internet, not the other side of the 192.168.2.2 router.

That means you may be getting communication one way, but not the other. If you have a sniffer, or are running Windows 2000 or XP, you should be able to tell if packets are at least coming from router number 2’s subnet into the first routers subnet.

Now, in theory, all of your computers should be able to see the internet, however, the computers behind the second router may have the same return route issue, that 192.168.0.1 doesn’t know that 192.168.2.2 is a router.

Now, if you don’t use the router as a router, and instead connect one of it’s Lan ports to the first router’s LAN ports, you should be able to get everything to communicate. However, you may have to use a crossover cable to get this to work.

I don’t know your routers personally, but you may be able to tell the first router that it has a router on it’s LAN side. That would get everything working too, but to be honest, I don’t know how to do that on any router at the moment.

You too.
