Re: SSID name in IP address selection
today, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
It is a convenience feature designed to improve usability and user-friendliness. Previously, the IP selection dialogue displayed only adapter names, which could be unclear in some circumstances. Now, it also shows the connection name along with the SSID of the connected WiFi network, making it easier to identify the correct connection.
Re: Settings backup and transfer

Yes, you can easily back up your NetWorx settings by accessing the Usage Reports window and clicking the Backup button. This will create a backup of all data, including usage figures and settings, allowing you to restore them on another PC.

Thank you for sharing your solution. We will keep in mind that Sophos Central MDR can interfere with Nmap invocations.
Re: Discovery scan of other subnets
16 days ago, by Ann in Switch Port Mapper Forum
That's correct. MAC addresses should be retrievable regardless of whether the switch is on the same or a different subnet. In fact, you can try running the Port Mapper against a switch accessible over the Internet, and it should successfully pull the MAC addresses.
Re: Why does upload latency affect download?
16 days ago, by Ann in Connection Emulator Forum
When you apply upload latency, it also affects download performance because of how TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) works. In a TCP connection, downloading data isn't just about receiving packets from the server. It also involves sending acknowledgements (ACKs) back to confirm the successful receipt of data. So, if there is increased latency on the upload path, these ACKs take longer to re
"Taskbar not found" error message - Fixed

This issue may be caused by a timing conflict where NetWorx starts before Windows makes the taskbar available, or when Windows explorer crashed. Please try the latest NetWorx build. It should resolve the problem.

It is likely that your router either doesn't support SNMP or is not configured correctly. Could you please share the router model? It would help in troubleshooting the issue.

Re: How to rename network adapter
25 days ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
If you prefer to have a more user-friendly network adapter name, the easiest and safest way is to rename the adapter directly within NetWorx app using the right-click menu: This way you won't risk creating the problems that you have recently experienced after editing the registry and the database. The database that you attached isn't actually corrupted. Rather, your system assigned a new
Lost access to NetWorx on macOS - Solution
25 days ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
We have just updated the NetWorx app to better address this issue. (After downloading the new build, you may need to terminate the NetWorx process in Activity Monitor before updating if it's still running.) Now, if macOS hides NetWorx icon or widget due to insufficient space in the menu bar, the app will appear in the Dock, allowing the users to left-click its icon and access the menu. It will
Re: How to detect and see suspicious internet activity
29 days ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
What would be considered "suspicious internet activity" greatly depends on what is normal internet activity for a particular user: what the user does online, what he/she uses the computer for, what other applications are installed on that computer... But generally, suspicious internet activity refers to unexpected, unexplained, excessive or unusual network connections that might indica
Re: Is it possible to monitor Google Nest?
4 weeks ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor this router. Google Nest Wifi Pro does not support SNMP for network monitoring. And while it supports UPnP, it does not implement the WANCommonInterfaceConfig service required for polling the device for statistics.
Re: How to disable taskbar widget before startup

We are glad to hear that everything is now working well for you. And thank you for the suggestion. In the latest build, we have added the ability to clear the graph screen. It is the Clear menu item, accessible via the graph's popup menu: Regarding the update interval, it is fixed at 1 second to ensure accurate speed readings, as they reflect data transferred per second. However, you can
Re: How to disable taskbar widget before startup
4 weeks ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
That's quite unusual, as our taskbar widget has been extensively tested on Windows 10 and 11, and most issues have been resolved in the latest version. The widget is enabled by default because Windows often hides new notification area icons, which can make it difficult for some users to locate NetWorx after it starts running. That said, there is a way to manually disable the widget before star
Suggestion: Monitor selection feature for taskbar graph - Added
5 weeks ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion. We have added support for secondary taskbars in Windows 11. You can now choose the screen where you wish to display the speed widget. Please download the latest build to test this new feature. Please note that this feature is only compatible with the stock Windows 11 taskbar. It will not function with third-party replacements, such as Open-S
Re: Why is putting Page File on a RAM disk a bad idea?
5 weeks ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
Greg, we understand that there may be various reasons and scenarios when some users may want to put page/swap file onto a RAM disk. The point we are trying to make here clearly and honestly is that the RAM Disk software is not specifically intended for such scenarios, and therefore the developers cannot guarantee the stability of operation if the users choose to do that. Anyone can put a page

Re: Privacy question about data transmission to external servers
5 weeks ago, by Ann in WiFi Guard Forum
Only MAC addresses are sent out, to help identify device types. No other information from your scan is transmitted. If you prefer to keep all your scan data private, this feature can be easily disabled. Simply open Settings - Advanced tab, and uncheck Online device recognition (sends us device MAC address).
Re: Packet loss stats for AT&T router/modem
6 weeks ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
There isn't a universal "packet loss counter" in SNMP, and scraping statistics from a router or modem web interface would require a custom script tailored to each specific model. Given the vast number of different routers, this isn't something we can integrate into NetWorx. However, you may find NetWorx Connection Monitor feature very useful. While it doesn't directly measure packet l
Re: Scan results show full list of all possible IP, all with the same MAC address
6 weeks ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
This typically happens because network scan sends out ARP requests to identify MAC addresses of devices and verify their online status. However, when scanning across subnets, the router often responds to all ARP requests with its own MAC address, which can lead to all IP addresses appearing as if they were active, even if they aren't assigned, and all appearing to have the same MAC address To r
Re: Cache relocation for Vivaldi browser
6 weeks ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
The disappearance of a browser from Cache Relocator means that either the cache folder or its symbolic link could not be found. In your case, it was caused by the fact that the Vivaldi folder that you manually created on the RAM disk was wiped out during the reboot. The contents of RAM disks is volatile (as RAM is supposed to be). Therefore any manually created folders get deleted by a reboot or s
Re: How to move the graph from taskbar to a separate window
6 weeks ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
NetWorx can display the graph either in the taskbar or in a floating window. To enable the floating graph, simply (1) untick 'Display Speed in Taskbar' in NetWorx pop-up menu; and then (2) depending on your selected monitoring mode, click either your monitored network name or the 'Applications' menu item.

Re: OS version is displayed as Windows 10 for Windows 11 workstations
7 weeks ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
The reason why Windows 11 is being reported as Windows 10 in your network scan is due to how Microsoft has handled version numbers in the NetWkstaGetInfo API. Microsoft did not increase the major or minor version numbers when transitioning from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Instead, both operating systems report their version as 10.0. The primary distinction between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is in

Thank you for your feedback. We've added a Refresh button to the Speed Meter window, allowing you to update the IP address and server without restarting NetWorx. Additionally, if there is a connection issue preventing the Start button from being available, an error message will be displayed, and you will have the option to retry by clicking Refresh.

There are two main ways to deploy a custom configuration for multiple NetWorx instances. 1. By using the portable version You can set up NetWorx in a portable mode within an empty folder and configure all the required settings, including email reporting. Once you have done this, close the application. This will generate a file named NETWORX.DB3, which is a standard SQLite3 database. You can th

The issue is in the SMTP Server field. According to your screenshot, you are attempting to use a Gmail server, but have not specified an SMTP server. For Gmail, the correct SMTP server address is smtp.gmail.com:465 (where 465 is the port number). But in your case, no hostname was provided, only ":465".
