Re: Some proxy traffic is not recorded
3 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Sorry it's a little hard to understand what you are doing with this proxy conversion, but I guess the reason is simple. As computer A receives data from computer B, from the point of view of NetWorx it's a local connection whose traffic is disregarded. This could be worked around by removing computer B's IP address from the excluded ranges (the Setup button next to Ignore local traffic within
Re: Feature request: Finer timespan selection in the Applications tab

Done in the latest build, please feel free to test it and provide your feedback. Double-click an entry in the Per day, Per Week, Per Month or Custom reports, or under Hourly Rates, and the Applications tab will reveal what was used during that time frame.

A possible implementation of the "split" mode looks a little complicated. As there seems to be no way to find out how much memory can be allocated from a specific node, we wouldn't know how much to ask for to ensure the allocation succeeds. Let's say, we have a 100 GB RAM 2 CPU machine, 90 GB are free and we want a 85 GB RAM Disk. Things might proceed this way: Node A has 50 GB fr
Re: Large number of stopping threads

Sorry I am not sure what went wrong there, but it's best not to change any settings with Live Display on. The reason for that is many settings may unexpectedly affect its operation when an old parameter suddenly receives a new value. As a precaution, we will probably disable settings access while Live Display is active (in the same way it is disabled during scanning).

There is a setting accessible via the Advanced button that lets you choose which NUMA node to allocate memory from. It's only enabled on a multiprocessor machines though. Is this what you were asking for?

Thank you for pointing this issue out. We've just fixed it and you are welcome to download and try the new build. It should now all be consistent:

There seems to be an in issue with the Microsoft's functionality sitting in PDH.DLL, which we are using to display the performance counter selection dialog. When we were testing this function, we encountered some odd memory errors (which in your case seem to lead to a program crash). It turns out this Microsoft DLL is full of bugs; someone else confirmed it in their article and there is more i
Re: Feature request: Sticky columns
18 days ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
That's a good idea, and we have just implemented it. It is possible to freeze/make sticky more than one column, but they all must be moved to the left, as shown below. See menu View - Freeze Columns and View - Unfreeze Columns.

Excellent question. The multiline setting simply breaks down long values and displays them over a few lines. Example:

In this case, the mount sequence had started at boot time and continued until the moment you logged in. It does not prevent the system from continuing booting or displaying a login screen. Try booting the system and waiting 1-2 minutes before logging in: the disk should be fully ready by that stage.
Re: RAMdisk size became limited to 4095 MB after Windows 10 1809 update
5 weeks ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Have you rebooted the computer after installing the 4.0.8 update? The reboot is necessary for the drivers to be replaced. If you have rebooted, and the error is still present, it is probably some other issue. In that case please submit a support ticket and attach screen shots and more details about your system, e.g. total RAM and Windows build number.
Re: Tracking down unexplained data usage

The Monitor my router rather than this computer option records usage data directly on the router's Internet interface. These records include all devices connected to the router and should be the closest to what ISP reports. There a few issues with this method though: The router must support SNMP polling or certain features in its UPnP implementation. There is no break down by device, there is

I may not be quite sure what exactly you want to achieve, but encrypting config files would require some kind of master password to be entered every time the application is used. This is not something we'd like to add due to the difficulty of implementing encryption correctly and its effect on software export restrictions between jurisdictions. If the security of config files is a concern for

The 'Rapid' isn't a new version I am afraid, but rather a custom build for our Japanese partners who market it in Japan under a different name. We consider the RAM Disk product to be feature-complete, i.e. it does the job and does it well. Not much else can be added to it feature-wise. Having said that, we are open to suggestions on the product improvements. One of the things still planned to
Re: Extreme Network switch stack

Just this week we have received a similar report about a HUAWEI switch and SNMPv3. I think we have fixed that, so could you please try the following? Download the latest debug build of the portable version. Unpack it to a folder. Launch it as NSMapGUI.exe --debug-log=test.log It should work just fine, but if not please post test.log here or submit a support ticket.

In the end, both virtual and physical memory end up being the physical RAM. Virtual memory is simply an abstraction that represents a contiguous address space, see this article in Wikipedia for a more detailed explanation. In the Windows kernel world we can choose whether to use virtual memory or physical memory. The former is easier to use, the latter is faster due to the absence of abstracti

Re: Using RAM Disk to speed up video editing
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
You can of course, but the gains in productivity will really depend on the editing software you are using. If the software creates a lot of temporary files in Windows %TEMP% folder, or if it can be configured to use a specific drive for its cache, then RAM Disk can be beneficial. Simply speaking, a RAM disk is just a very fast disk-like device backed by RAM. It will benefit applications and op
Re: Accidentally entered a wrong IP address and got scan results for it

The 192.160.x.x entries you are seeing are regular servers and other devices on the Internet with those addresses. They are not in your network. Local or private addresses fall into one of these ranges: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 Anything outside these rages belongs to so-called routable addresses on the Internet, so scanning

Thanks, that's a good idea and we have just implemented it. Please download and try latest build. It should search across all columns as you type. One caveat: the tree must be in focus (via a mouse click) for the search to work.
Re: Initialisation of VVLIB failed
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Thanks for the compliment to our RAM Disk. All in all, we're striving to implement every bit of performance improvement in it, so another thing you could try with the latest (paid) version is the exFAT file system. In our tests it performed 10-15% faster than NTFS.

Re: Initialisation of VVLIB failed
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
It is unfortunately hard to tell without knowing how the other application implements memory allocations. As far as I remember we were having issues with allocating large blocks (>4 GB) from virtual memory and decided to use the physical one. Though if the other application performs better for you, why not just use it?...

This indicates one or both services are still installed. Try opening an administrator command prompt and type sc query SPVDPort sc query SPVVEngine If that's the case and either service is installed, try deleting it with the following commands and reboot: sc delete SPVDPort sc delete SPVVEngine
Re: Add maximum upload and download speed to the reports

Ah, that explains it! Thank you very much for sharing your findings. Not surprisingly we haven not seen this happening: we simply don't use Windows 10 here for daily work, relying mainly on Windows 7 as a much more "workable" system. While we do test all applications on everything from Windows XP to Windows 10, these tests obviously couldn't catch the Storage Sense issue, which seem

Re: Assistance with Xfinity router setup

Not every router can be monitored. To be able to monitor a router, NetWorx needs a router to either: Support the so-called SNMP protocol. In some routers it needs to be enabled and configured, but some may not support it at all. Unfortunately we don't have a TG3482G at hand to check, so it's best if you contact your ISP and ask them whether the router supports SNMP and how to enable it. Or: Su
