These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

| I understand how the P2P net works, quite well. But I have one stupid question. How do the computers connect to the net if they don't know IPs of those already connected. It is necessary to know some starting address or what? Thanx for your answers. |

| How about host caches, Hostcache... how do I access them? |

As for how you get connected your ISP assigns you an Ip adress and DNS to use. |

| Thanx Moak! That's what I wanted to know. So there are some host caches with fixed URLs. But... I am dreaming of a real P2P network which would not depend on any given server. If a servent wanted to join the network it might find the others by broadcasting a message until someone responses. Wouldn't it be possible? |

| Hi, you're welcome. It mainly depends on what kind of broadcast you are thinking of (which protocoll, which OSI layer?). But whatever it is, it will usually work in your local LAN or network segment only! Your ISP (or router) makes sure broadcasts on a low layer are not routed to the internet, because wild broadcasts from many many hosts could easily collapse the internet. High broadcast traffic is also a problem inside gnutella (for known countermeasures on this layer/protocoll see TTL and superpeers/ultrapeers, pong caching etc). For example a known broadcast inside a LAN is used with Samba service (the famous file service), it broadcasts to find master servers and other file servers. Those broadcasts are usually send only to the same netwok segment, corrosponding to your TCP/IP network mask (see details in /etc/smb.conf). Actually host caches are the only slightly centralized structure inside Gnutella. There are some alternative ideas, e.g. an IRC channel where servants exchange IPs. Any more ideas known? PS: Sephir, the internet uses IPs. DNS translates internet hostnames to IPs, and reverse. It's a common service you need if working with hostnames (resolving to IPs). When being pure IP based there is no need to query a DNS server, the Gnutella protocoll itself is pure IP based (IPv4 yet). Last edited by Moak : December 26th, 2001 at 06:28 AM. |

| thx RTFM... but this is not the thing i was looking for... it gets an IP from an address... but looking at the google-keywords remembered me of a english website called VBIP (www.vbip.com) i visited a loooong time ago... there's is everything you (i) need... here's the article: http://www.vbip.com/winsock-api/geth...tbyaddr-01.asp it uses Declare Function gethostbyaddr Lib "ws2_32.dll" (addr As Long, ByVal addr_len As Long, ByVal addr_type As Long) As Long anyway... thx for your effort CU |
