RELATED NOTES (from Webcam32 docs): > Use Temp File - Allow the file to be overwritten only when the image is finished uploading. To achieve this, the target file is not written directly, instead a temporary file called T.jpg is written and renamed to the target. > Remove/Rename - Removes the target file before the Temp file is renamed. == Subject: Manually Checking IP Address Start/Run/Cmd ipconfig /all Search output for "IP Address" == [As of 31 JAN 2004] IP Address: 207.196.42.231 == [Hardware upgrade: 12 JUL 2003] IP ADDRESSES Server IP Address: 207.196.42.233 [use for manual login via telnet] Client IP Address: 207.196.42.232 WEB USAGE STATISTICS http://www.wsanford.com/webalizer/ Documentation: At a UNIX prompt: "man webalizer" http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/ ================================================================= Walter Sanford, Director Carl Sandburg Middle School Center for Sky Awareness 8428 Fort Hunt Road Sandburg Planetarium Alexandria, VA 22308 Fairfax County Public Schools Work: 703-799-6169 -6197 (fax) E-mail: wsanford@wsanford.com Home: 703-765-9392 AMS Project ATMOSPHERE Atmospheric Education Resource Agent SCSA, Geosystems, & Camp T-Equity - URL: http://www.wsanford.com/ =================================================================
