We cannot possibly give advice on legal issues, you need to consult your company's lawyers. As to the rest, you could use webforms or PDF forms that you can circulate via email.

Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, I am definitely not expecting specific legal advice, I am merely curious, if anyone has experience with a similar project, if, as a general rule, it is possible to to complete US government forms electronically (being that they typically require a signature). For example, when I filed my taxes, I believe I could fill most off it out in PDF form; however, I still had to physically print and sign it.

Well that is not really a question for a programming forum.

Every year I've done an e-file tax return, I've used a digital signature. It's definitely a question for legal, though, as the laws and policies governing what is acceptable for digital signatures is going to heavily influence implementation.

You're also setting yourself up to manage PII, so please let me be the first to welcome you to the wonderful world of HIPAA.

If I have more than one functioning network adapter in my machine and I open a browser, how does Windows decide which network adapter the browser communicates over?

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

This does not work in win 10 for some reason it only allows prioritising networks not adapters, for 7 onwards.

Open networks sharing
click Change Adapter Settings
Press the Alt key to reveal the windows menu strip and click advanced
select Advanced Settings on the menu

Thank you.

I was referring to Windows 10. With network priorities, how does it decide when to move from the first network to the next one in the chain? When it can't find a resource?

First for "local" traffic if the adapters are in different networks with unique address ranges then the decision is based on the target IP address as to which network to use, logical really.

For external addresses not within any of the networks it will tend to be in order of metrics, for some reason the last network added (say you plug in a cable whilst you are on wifi) seems to get pushed to top priority which may be decided on the speed and stability of the cabled network and that it can see the internet or might just be cabled is better than wifi.

To set individual metrics; Open Adapter Properties, double-click IPv4 protocol and click the Advanced button bottom right, there you can set the metrics for IPv4 on that adapter, untick Automatic Metrics and set the adapter you want to be high priority to the lowest value and all the other adapters to higher numbers in order you want them to be searched.

Caveat is that Win 10 ignores this and no matter how you try sets it back to automatic, think it is an open issue at MS.

You do not specify which windows version, for all but win 10;

Open network sharing centre
click Change Adapter Settings
press Alt key to reveal the windows menu strip and click Advanced and select Advanced Settings

For Win 10 you'll need to alter the metrics on the IPv4 protocol on the adapter, which does not always work...

With ForceBindIP you can bind any Windows application to a specific interface or IP address. It´s freeware"

"ForceBindIP works in two stages - the loader, ForceBindIP.exe will load the target application in a suspended state. It will then inject a DLL (BindIP.dll) which loads WS2_32.DLL into memory and intercepts the bind(), connect(), sendto(), WSAConnect() and WSASendTo() functions, redirecting them to code in the DLL which verifies which interface they will be bound to and if not the one specified, (re)binds the socket.

I tried switching off IPV6 but it didnt work
it shows "DNS request timed out timeout was 2 seconds" almost every time
these is the DNS communication as captured by wireshark when I type 'nslookup' and open the program

5	4.080346	192.168.1.6	192.168.1.1	DNS	84	Standard query 0x0001 PTR 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa

and when I type 'facebook.com'

why is my gateway's name appended on facebook.com (facebook.com.DSL2740B)
when I type set type=mx or set type=all the MX and ANY queries are sent and there is no reply
any help ??

Sounds like your DNS server isn't working properly. Try querying Google's DNS servers:

nslookup
server 8.8.8.8
set type=a
facebook.com

This is because it is defined in the DNS Suffix Search List (type 'ipconfig /all' to see what is set). This list is mainly for resolving hosts in your local domain (no need to specify full qualified domains).

To avoid this you can use the nosearch option or append a period (but I'm not sure if using a period is supported by Windows nslookup):

nslookup -nosearch facebook.com
nslookup facebook.com.

Regarding the timeouts there may be multiple reasons. There may be for example firewalls blocking requests (on your system, on the gateway, or even by your ISP). It may be also a DNS server that responds with delays due to high system or network load.

Did you never got an answer or is it working sometimes (especially after sending the same query again)?

When sending the same query again, the DNS server on your gateway should have stored the result in his local cache meanwhile so that he can answer without forwarding the query.

You should also try to use a known DNS server as suggested by Richard:

nslookup facebook.com. 8.8.8.8

This avoids forwarding the query through the DNS server of your gateway / DSL router to the DNS server of your ISP and should be therefore much faster.

well the DNS server address default is my routers address
I changed it to my ISP's DNS server's address and everything works well
any idea why this happened only on nslookup while the rest of DNS worked fine ?
also : it happened only on one router
I moved to another house and it is working with any setting

Other programs will work because they usually have a longer timeout than the Windows nslookup.

It seems that your router is rather slow in forwarding DNS requests and answers. If it is an old model (slow CPU, little memory, old firmware) you should get a new one.
