Peer Networking and PeerChannel install on Windows Server 2003?

How exactly do you install peer networking and PeerChannel on Windows Server 2003

On my Windows Server 2003 server, I've installed WinFX and also Windows Server 2003 SP1. Although the SP1 download page claims that this adds peer networking, there are no signs that peer networking is available: I don't see any peer networking services listed under Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services, and there aren't any options for peer networking listed underControl Panel > Add Programs > Windows Components.

So it seems like something is missing.... but what Has anyone successfully used PeerChannel on Windows 2003 Server, and if so what installation steps did you take

David

    David,

    There is no P2P component to install it on the Windows 2003 platforms, see the following link where P2P is available:

    David,

    The Windows 2003 doesn't have modules such as p2p, pnrpnsp and p2psvc which will enable building a p2p driven application (using API function via SDK).

    See the following link for dependencies at the "OS Design Information"

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcecomm5/html/wce50conpeer-to-peerosdesigndevelopment.asp

    It looks like that the WCF team built a peer channel without using the above API function, therefore the channel will work on the W2k3 + IPv6 + ...

    Please, check if IPv6 listener is enabled on your Win2k3.

    David,

    I apologize for my previously response (fast typing). The link is related to the WinCE, but I think the IPv6 can be a problem.

    Thanks

    Roman



  • mAh3u

    Probably the IPv6 is not enabled on your server.

  • Mamatha

    Why do you think IPv6 will be a problem

    According to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx I should be able to add IPv6 protocol to my Windows Server 2003 system.

    I'm going to try it out and see if that gets me going.

    Roman,

    In a previous thread the PeerChannel team indiicated you can run PeerChannel on Windows Server 2003. See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=294383&SiteID=1

    "David, when you say peernet, if you mean peer channel, support is indeed available on Windows 2003 Server as well. The only piece not available on that platform is PNRP for name resolution, however, we make it very easy to build a Resolver Service that can be used for resolving the mesh name to a node currently in the mesh. A custom resolver will work uniformly on all platforms, including the server platform."

    The question is, how do you get it installed... anyone know

    David
