Long time licensed user. When you copy and paste 172.29.112.1 in the start IP range box and then paste 172.29.112.5 in the end range box, you get 172.291.121. and 172.291.125. Which is unusable. We use copy paste in our daily operations and this has almost completely crippled the use of this software. We have tried to work around it, but it is just so frustrating, years and years of copy paste h

Unfortunately I don't own a Mac so I cannot tell you. I would assume you are right all the WMI stuff will not be there. Nice that some of the powershell features will be available.

Re: VPN disconnected after a scan

Yes this is part of the Cisco System. You need to connect to a machine on the LAN and use it for scanning. We do that all the time to get around the VPN security.
Re: Number of scanned devices changes in every scan
4 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
@JS, we had this problem and discovered that the anti-virus installed on the workstation was blocking our scans because it thought it was an attack. It was set to block for 5 minutes the first time around then 15 minutes the next time around. It would take about 15 minutes to do a full scan of the networks so each scan would have different results. I don't know if this is your case but I hope it h

Enter 192.168.0.1 as the starting address and 192.168.0.254 as the ending address. To get rid of the stars you have to purchase the software. You can only see the first 10 devices with the free trial version. -WS

Password is visible in Password Manager
5 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
FYI passwords can be revealed to anyone the user shares config files with. The password manager has a reveal password option. Users need to be aware of this security issue so they don't expose your passwords to other users or staff that should not have access to them. Thanks -WS
Re: Network scan through VPN /22 subnet mask

I scan networks connected via VPN all the time and it works perfectly. I scan /24 /23 /22 and /20 no problem. Just enter the IP range and scan. -WS
Re: Scan devices without turning off Windows firewall
5 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Turn on firewall and enable ping on all clients. Done and done! Here is how: Open Windows Firewall. Click Advanced Settings on the left. From the left pane of the resulting window, click Inbound Rules. In the right pane, find the rules titled File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In). Right-click each rule and choose Enable Rule.

Did you ever finalize and release 7.1.6? I downloaded it as one of your preliminary builds and it works well but I notice that 7.1.5 is the version in the download section of the site. Note: it has the same error as reported above. I just click through it. Thanks -WS

Re: Not accepting /32 address as a valid CIDR range
5 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
That is the button I am using that doesn't work because I have to toggle the checkbox for broadcast/network scanning you mentioned. That is why I suggested the new icon. Right now it is three or four mouse clicks to turn it off ... then three or four to turn it back on. The new icon would do all the mouse clicks for single IP? Just a thought nothing that has to be changed... and again you may hav
Re: Not accepting /32 address as a valid CIDR range
5 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Yup, that works. Thanks for the link. Picture worth a thousand words. Got me thinking is there a more elegant way to handle this so someone doesn't' have to go back and forth checking the box? My thoughts are 162.213.122.82 /32 and a new ICON that indicates Single IP. But you may have a much better suggestion. Example: 162.213.122.82 /32 (Add Range) (CIDR) Blank (Assign Comment) (NEW
Delay when clicking the File menu item
5 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Version v7.1.6 downloaded from this thread has a delay when clicking on FILE when the software is first launched. Re-clicking there is no delay. Then if I scan a range and wait until it finishes and then click on FILE there is a long delay before the menu appears. Thanks -WindowsStar

I keep forgetting to let you know that NetScan will not let me enter 162.213.122.82 /32 as a valid search. I have to put 162.213.122.82 to 162.213.122.82 to scan a single IP. Thanks -WindowsStar

Wasn't the item already setup under the Remote XML options for iLO and iDRAC. If memory serves me? EDIT: Opps I see XML now. Thought this was a pure HTML query.

Re: Unable to write netscan config file
6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
This explains some of the issues we are having. Each tech uses a different /maxcols:X and we all share configuration files, especially if someone figures out a new way to scan for something. Is there a way to add the /maxcols:X to the config files and eliminate the need for the command line switch? Or code it for 100 and then use the command line switch if you need something beyond that? Thoughts?
Re: Administrative shares and hidden shares
6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
C$, D$, .... etc. and Admin$ and IPC$ are the admin shares, the others you displayed typically are not. The $ on the "other" shares just mean it is hidden (well mostly hidden). Print$ is the share for printer drivers and printer information and is available to everyone (e.g. not an Admin Share), the $ just means it is hidden. Hope that helps -WS

Thread scan stuck: diagnostics and solutions
6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Good Morning, Many times I scan a network and NetScan gets stuck with something like "Threads 62 Devices 62 /62" and never continues. I assume it is stuck trying to gather the information I have requested but cannot for some reason. I have let the software run all day and it will stay stuck. If I stop the scan and then force the Threads to end the software will stay stuck on 62 threa

@bizmarkie Sorry if it seemed like I was ganging up on you, that was not my intent. The intent was to help resolve the problem. I have been in the computer industry for more time than I care to admit and every time I had seen something like this in the past it was video card related or too high a percentage of CPU usage time. But as always Andrew knew something we didn't was able to track it to t
6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
That looks like a slow video card to me. I have seen this with other software many times. Try updating the video driver to the latest version, sometimes that makes a difference. If not check to see if your machine itself has too much running at the same time. I know many applications put software in the system tray to launch faster or give you quick access to settings, but 90% of the time that is
