Re: Discover advertised HTTP and FTP server in IE on Windows

How do you install ExplorerPlugin.dll under Windows' IE and use the plugin
to discover an FTP server on a Panther box?


What version of Windows are you using? I had a problem with Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 2000 Advanced Server where I would get an error like this:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7001

Description:
The Apple mDNSResponder service depends on the Windows Management Instrumentation service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.


How I fixed this was dropped a shortcut of mDNSResponder into the start-up folder and now its starts regardless. The reason I asked you what OS you are running is because I had the same problem with the Explorer plugin and that was all I needed to do.


Does Panther's ftp server advertise itself via Rendezvous by default? Or are
there additional configuration steps?


It should show up automatically, if you follow the step I just said it should show up. It also might be a problem with your firewall. If you use a BSD or Linux box and IPTables for a firewall you have to open up the port that Rendezvous uses , if you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2, list mDNSResponder as an exception in the Windows Firewall.


Thanks in advance, Paul Litvak
