Discussion for ComTest.vbs

[Rupp]

I have my dcom setup to allow the IUSR to access the Homeseer.classString and ASP pages work perfectly but I can not connect from another computer on my network?

Jim,

You raise a good point. I will edit the script to make testing the HSPhone app something the user can decide on. This is not hard to do.

Update:
An updated script is available that allows you to decide to test or not to test HSPhone.

If you're not running Homeser Phone, this script will cause it to start, or in my case, attempt to, since HSphone won't run on my system - the Cybergenie phones confuse the heck out of it, and it locks up pretty good. If you just want to check HS and not HSphone, edit the script, and comment out from:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">Set hsp = CreateObject("HSPhone.Application") </pre>
to
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> myVar = MsgBox(aStr ,vbInformation,"Com Test for HSPhone") </pre>

ComTest tests your computer to determine if you can connect to HomeSeer and HSPhone using DCOM. If you are successful then this means that it is possible for asp pages and other applications, including vbs scripts can be utilized to work with HomeSeer and HSP. This ability increases the capabilities and features that are available to you.


The script is located here.
