As a workaround, I recommend to install NetWorx in MS Vista compatibility mode. Just open the installation package's properties and set it as shown below. This will make the installation use the standard TDI driver rather than WPF, which should work fine.

Now I've installed WinPCap and selected the new interface from the list. This solves the problem bypassing the LAN traffic filtering driver which is coming with Networx.

1) Does that mean it does not have Windows Filtering Platform on Windows 7 and above? Please kindly confirm.
I always appreciated the 5.2.8 and 5.2.7 driver and had my doubts weather the newest driver you tried in 5.2.9 is a good idea. Maybe you'd want to continue with the old (5.2.8) one only.
2) Can you possibly also introduce/make available the portable version of the very same 5.2.9 (stable with) old 5.2.8 driver please?
Thanks

1) Reading some of the recent comments, a question arises - I hope this 5.2.9 (stable) with old 5.2.8 driver is not the driver which had a bug initially when it was released..remember? I hope it is the one with 5.2.8 driver that you had later fixed the bug.
2) The reason for asking is: I am using Networx 5.2.8 with 'Ignore LAN traffic' checked/ticked in both my PC1 (Win 7 32-bit) and PC2 (Win XP) and they are working fine.
3) However, one recent comment says that when 'Ignore LAN traffic' is checked/ticked, the operation is aborted. Seems the same old bug!?
Would look forward to your kind response please.
Thanks,
Neel

I'll try the new 5.2.9 and post my findings back here later.

What is the current status please:
5.2.9 official release - BSODs
Modified 5.2.9 - available if you know to come to this forum?
5.2.8 - unavailable?
Could I suggest you pull 5.2.9 completely until you've finished testing it's fix. It took me a while to deduce what was going wrong (and I'm a professional software engineer). I suspect there may be ordinary users out there, tearing there hair out wondering what is going wrong.
At the very least put out a notice or new release so they can install that.

I have NetWorx installed on 4 machines all running Windows 7 64-Bit. 1 is hard wired while the other 3 are wireless.
The 5.2.9 driver issue seems to only affect the machines with wireless adapters. The hard wired connection has been flawless.
I installed the 5.2.9 build that Andrew provided with the network driver from version 5.2.8 on the machines with the wireless adapters. This solved the BSOD issue and my network connection was stable. Although when running Windows Update, NetWorx did not "see" the downloads. It's as if Windows Updates were recognized as local traffic and ignored.
My workaround was to Install WinPCap and select the new interface from the list. This solved the Windows Update issue and all wireless machines have been stable so far. The only disadvantage to using the WinPCap driver is that the Application Usage Tracker will not function.
Hopefully development will sort out this driver issue soon.
I would also like to suggest that there be an option to enter current data usage when setting up your Quota. This would allow your quota and usage reports to be accurate within a current billing cycle.
Thanks,
Wes

When installing Networx, I checked the option to ignore traffic on the LAN. I also have WinPCap still installed.
I don't know if this is relevant, but the other computer on the LAN is still running Networx 5.2.8. Networx is set to synchronize usage on both computers.
Windows 7, 64-bit.

The only issue I can't seem to track down is why Windows Updates are ignonerd. I would like for my usuage report to be as acurate as possibe. If it's not tracking those downloads, what other data is it ignoring? Any one else having this problem?

MS states that the downloads will total XXX MB, but when I track using Speedmeter, it usually reports less. But it does report most. There's no way that I know to check accurately whether MS or Networx is correct.
But if you don't see any traffic logged at all then there is something 'wrong'... but what? I know, that's your question...
