Windows – Does Windows support tcp TIME_WAIT reuse

windowswindows 7windows-server-2008-r2

My PC is Windows 7 and I'm wondering if there is a similar option to turn on TIME_WAIT reuse, like tcp_tw_reuse on Linux? Thanks

Yes, the delay in the reuse of TCP sockets is not optional, regardless of OS. It is a mandatory part of the protocol specification.

You can configure it in the registry.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

TcpTimedWaitDelay REG_DWORD 0x1e (30)

Windows PowerShell – How to Diff Two Text Files

Figured it out myself. Because Powershell works with .net objects rather than text, you need to use get-content to expose the contents of the text files. So to perform what I was trying to do in the question, use:

compare-object (get-content one.txt) (get-content two.txt)

Windows – How to Add a Windows Environment Variable Without Rebooting

Changes to environment variables should take effect immediately, if you make the change via the main Properties dialog for the computer in question (go to My Computer | Properties | Advanced | Environment Variables). After the changes are saved, Explorer broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to all windows to inform them of the change. Any programs spawned via Explorer after this should get the updated environment, although already-running programs will not, unless they handle the setting change message.

I'm not able to tell from your problem description what specific problem you're having with this. Can you tell us more about the specific scenario that isn't working?
