I find it odd the other day that ping ..localmachine works on Windows 7
If you Win+R, type \\..localmachine\ it will open local machine share folder.
I have a web server listen on 0.0.0.0 port 8080
This python script works
urllib2.urlopen('http://..localmachine:8000').read()
And this is not defined in hosts file.
There seems not documentation mentions this, can anyone share some knowledge with this?
How does these kind of host names work on Windows? Any other pre-defined host names I should know?
Are there any significant security considerations we need to take care in our code?
Thanks to user ShaneMadden answered my question here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms738520(v=vs.85).aspx
On Windows Server 2003 and later if the pNodeName parameter points to a string equal to "..localmachine", all registered addresses on the local computer are returned.

I've been following this blog post, which claims to work to allow OS X to see IIS on my Windows VM (I'm using VMware Fusion):
http://blog.prabir.me/post/Expose-IISExpress-to-Mac-from-a-Windows-Virtual-Machine.aspx
I followed the blog points to the letter and can see IIS inside the VM in the browser fine, but not on OS X
Anyone got any idea what I might be missing config wise?
Thanks.
For anyone interested, the issue I was having was that my network adapter in VMware fusion was set to NAT.
It should be set to Bridged, so that the VM appears as a separate address to the mac. Then the tutorial mentioned in the question works perfectly.
Hope this helps someone!

I got a localhost service on my machine, but I don't remember installing it lol.
And now that I am really need it, I can't figure out who is running this service... It's just a simple page of "It works!".
Been trying searching my win7 for "It works!" keyword but found nothing. And all the index.html files seems to be not it. So it's really funny now...
Anyway I can find it out?
Edit:
This is the my localhost icon , I even search it on Google images without any result...
You have Collabnet Subversion Edge installed on your machine. This brings along it's own customised setup of Apache.
Find the folder c:\inetpub\wwwroot\yourservice, if you are using the iis to host your services.

anyone knows any "real" parental control software for windows which is "open source"?
tnx
I've just found one:
Kid Logger
Real "parental control" on Windows is Windows itself.
add all allowed domains and their IP's (twice each, with and without 'www') in file /windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
in properties of network connection go to properties of TCP/IP, choose 'use the following DNS addresses' and add 127.0.0.1
Now your system knows IP's of domains listed in hosts, and cannot query DNS for others, so no connection.
While not "open source," Microsoft's Windows Live Family Safety is nice. It's free and works great with Vista/Win7.

I am trying to access a windows VM through RDP. I am using NAT and a linux host. I am not getting a proper answer on the web. Can anyone help /?
First, question belongs to serverfault.
Implementing a bridged connection and use that IP for remote access is the easy way. Or if you are using NAT, there is a way to connect to guest OS by a facility that VM provides which is a console connection to the guest OS. Check your VM settings for that and enable that. After that you will be able to connect to guest os by hostos ip : port that you specified while console configuration.

I think this is more a Mac networking configuration issue than anything else, but am not sure.
I have Subversion set up on my Windows Home Server machine (similar to this: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/RunningASubversionServerOffYourWindowsHomeServer.aspx). This setup has been working for me for months, using Windows clients.
Now I'm trying to add a Mac client, and it can't resolve the network name of my WHS server. If I open a terminal window on the mac, and attempt to ping or use nslookup, I get an error that it can't find the server. On the PC side, I can ping, but nslookup doesn't resolve the name, so I'm assuming that PC's ping is resolving the name as a NetBios name.
I've found a number of articles online that explain how to set up default suffixes based on Windows domains, but the Windows Home Server doesn't establish a domain by default. (It's in workgroup mode.)
Anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
The quick and easy way to get this working would be to add an entry to your host file on the MAC. You can find the file in /etc/hosts
Edit the file and add an entry at the end as follows:
<ip address> <hostname>
example:
69.59.196.211 www.stackoverflow.com
That is the way that I would go, and they mention using the host file in the article you posted. More info on editing the hostfile of different machines can be found here:
