Probably not and you just need to choose ONE specific network interface to monitor in the settings.

As installed NetWorx is monitoring all traffic on all network interfaces, possibly including local traffic or multiple adapters including virtual and dial-up ones and sums it all up.

This often results in incorrect readings.

Hi Andrew,

This happens a lot, so, what if the default was to not monitor any connection as a default and pop up a message to tell a user to select an appropriate connection?
The user could read the Help file if they needed more information and thus avoid this problem by selecting the proper (for them) connection(s), perhaps with a bit of trial and error but without needing to post the question on the forum.
