I have a laptop (Dell XPS 15, Windows 7 Home 64 bit) and connect to the internet via built-in wireless (Centrino Wireless-N 1000). I have Networx (v. 5.2.8 64 bit) monitoring "All connections" with the "Ignore local traffic within the LAN" enabled.
My internet connection at home is a Netgear 4G mobile hub, the ISP charges per usage so I'd like to limit how much I use it. 2 GB costs like $45 for example. At home connected to this network I want to monitor my usage. However, if I take my laptop to a cafe or library I connect to a high speed wireless network so I don't want to monitor usage. My solution so far was to just close the networx process down, but sometimes I forget to run it again at home.
There seems to be a setting to choose a specific network to use but it gives me a list of 2 MAC addresses and I don't know which one to use. If I open the Network and Sharing Center and get the details of the cafe's network connection I see a totally different MAC address that Networx doesn't list. Am I misunderstanding something? Is the MAC Address Networx listing that of my laptop and not the network?
