[VBScript - Writing Func/Sub that can take 0 or 1 args?]

Well, with PHP you can do the following....

<?php
function someFunction($messageString = null)
{
	if($messageString != null)
	{
		 //Do something
	}
	else
	{
		 //Do something else with user defined $messageString
	}
}
?>

Is this not possible? Maybe by specifing a default value?

You will have trouble setting the adaptor via the registry as the adaptor setting lie under a unique ID, you can however configure it from the command line using NETSH.

[Windows 2003 as Wireless Access Point / Router?]

Hi all,

[in Brief]

Currently I have a wireless router in the living room with a laptop connected to it, the laptop has a 160gb network share on it.

My question is this, can I just scrap the wireless router, connect my cable modem direct to my laptop, add a USB wireless dongle, install Windows 2003 server and somehow make a PC based Wireless Access Point / Router??

It seems a bit pointless to have 2 items drawing umpteen amount of watt-age when 1 could do....

Ideas?

A guide to perform this would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

SilverB.

Any ideas whats going on...? Am I the first to see this??

Just curious..

[windows unable to set proper dhcp ip address]

Could you please state the INTERNAL IP address of your router?

Once we have that, we could try to assign the client a static IP on the same range and try it then..

EDIT: Actually,,,,,,, how exactly are you configuring the router? I'm guessing from another machine via web admin???

[windows unable to set proper dhcp ip address]

That address is in a range which XP allocates when it cannot find one from your DHCP, it will say something like Private Adressing if memory serves me right.

It sounds as if your system is not talking to the router at all.

Can you....

As an after thought, to add a few users, and add them to groups try this...

GOTO :EOF

Just add all the users you need in the Users.ini file, each on a new line.

I'm guessing that worked for you

Heya,

You Could use the line:

net localgroup "Administrators" username /add

Or...

@Echo Off
Cls

::Enter username to be added
Set ChangeUser=Chris.Casey

::Enter group user to be added to
Set DestinationGroup=Administrators

Echo Adding user...
NET LOCALGROUP "%DestinationGroup%" %ChangeUser% /Add
Echo.
Echo Added %ChangeUser% to the %DestinationGroup% group.
Echo.
