Question:  I can’t get the Bridge to work on Windows XP.  View

Options to handle the problem: change the SSDP Discovery Service status to ‘stopped’ edit the Qondoc Bridge.ini under Windows XP in the following way: Server Port = 7000 (for example) (in fact, any value but not 5000) Preventive actions: Use a programme to check what the ports listened to. For example a freeware product of http://www.sysinternals.com.
Question: Is there any way to run the bridge so you can see what’s happening?  View
Answer: If you stop the service and run Qondocbridge.exe in a command window with the parameter -d the bridge will print everything that happens to the command window.

The Swedish Forest Agency – overview and control in a countrywide WAN

“Qondoc gives me an overview of the whole system. If we were to close down server 12 at nine o’clock next Monday, for example, I would then see which system owners were affected and could contact them. If I want to know how many servers are running Windows 2000, I get the answer in 20 seconds. Before, I had to call all system owners and ask them personally.” Interview with Roland Lindblad, who is the manager of the operations and technology group and is responsible for 120 servers and 1 400 personal computers at 160 offices.
