Problems With LSP & LSP Issues

chris — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:51:56 +0000

It does not matter how long you have been working with LSP – every LSP developer has problems arise every day. So do not take your problems with LSP personally! I think sometimes my greatest block to working well is the frustration I get when I run into an LSP issue.

(“Why isn’t this working?! It is supposed to be working! I did everything correctly!” - sound familiar?)

Well, Komodia.com is THE online tool for LSP developers. There is a free LSP guide and an incredible LSP resource page as well as an LSP newsletter. Feel free to use all of the available LSP information and tools because that is why it is here!

Winsock Block

chris — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:17:22 +0000

Blocking communication using Winsock is a fairly simple procedure. You can create a Winsock block any point that you insert Winsock into the communication stream.

To block Winsock then you would simply remove your block in the stream and communication would continue as before.

There are other programs and applications that perform this task as well and so you will need to ask yourself whether or not Winsock is the correct tool to use in this certain situation. Fortunately Komodia is the greatest Winsock resource on the web.

Help Wanted: Windows Layered Service Provider LSP Driver Developer

chris — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:15:17 +0000

It is tough in the land of the LSP developer. I know that writing even a simple LSP code can take as much as 90 days! That seems like such a long time to spend on the little, simple things – especially when it is time you could be spending on the meatier LSP problems and issues that you will have to face.

That is why I believe so strongly in the value of Komodia’s products. They can offer you a service that will honestly save your most valuable resource: TIME.

You can spend your time writing line after line of code on the simple things or you can let Komodia do it for you. This will free you up for other concerns involving LSP: how to inject to running process, et cetera…

Keep the frustration level to a minimum! Remember how you used to feel when you saw a job description that included Windows layered service provider LSP driver developer?

LSP Problem, Winsock Problem

chris — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:29:16 +0000

An LSP problem is a Winsock (Windows Sockets) problem. There is no way to have an LSP problem without a Winsock problem – they are pretty much attached at the hip. LSP problem, Winsock problem.

So when you run into layer service provider development issues, you generally want to goto the Internet to help you find a solution. This is how many, many people find Komodia.com each and every day.

For your LSP needs, there is a free LSP guide and a free LSP resource page. There are also several free LSP samples also. This site really is an amazing LSP tool.

The Vista Layered Service Provider Problem

chris — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:29:13 +0000

Vista can be a bit of an LSP nightmare because of the potential snafu regarding the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. It is such a headache that I have officially decided to give it a title: The Vista Layered Service Provider Problem.

The catch is that some people are only installing the 32 bit DLLs and the 32 bit LSP on a 64 bit OS and then other people are only installing the 64 bit DLLs and the 64 bit LSP. The fact of the matter is that in order to run a 32 bit application n a 64 bit OS, you need the 32 bit DLLs and LSP. However, you ALSO need the 64 bit DLLs and LSP for the 64 bit applications. One important note, you must install the 32 bit versions first.

This should effectively solve a majority of the problems and fix LSP issues for Vista. However, if you are having other problems like Vista LSP can’t connect to Internet or communication problems, then you may need more detailed help. I would definitely check out the free LSP guide and resource page here at Komodia.com before going any further.

Firewall Source for Vista

chris — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:48:51 +0000

Are you looking for the firewall source code in Vista? What if I told you that you could have a LSP enabled firewall without writing any code? Komodia’s Redirector is your true firewall source for Vista because the work is already accomplished for you. Why spend so many hours on a firewall when it has already been done by Komodia? Would not your time be better spent on other areas? I believe so. I think that you would appreciate the power and time-saving ease of Komodia’s Redirector - and it cannot hurt to check it out!
