Feature request: add script to Open Device menu

6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Good Morning, I would like to request a feature. Under Options | Remote Scripting .. or Remote PowerShell would you add a second check box. This second check box would add the script to "Open Device..." fly-out menu" like the Options | Program Options | Applications {tab} (Doesn't have to add it here, just making is an option on the "Open Device..." fly-out menu&quo

Yes, deleting the XML file does fix the issue, however I have an extremely complex XML file. Is there any way to have the software repair the XML file or update it without losing the settings?

I think deleting the XML file resolves the problem. I will try that at work ... tomorrow. -WS

Sorry, for the long reply. Was out due to a medical issues. I don't have that software installed. Any other thoughts?

"Could not register tab" error message

6 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Today, we purchased a license for this software to use the v7 code. (I have supported this software for a very long time and now that we are using it at work all the time we need to pay for it) When we went from v6.2.1 to v7.0.5 using the same XML config file, we now get the "Could not register tab. Error 0." error pop-up message when starting the scan. Any ideas? As always, gr

Re: Suggestion: Thread Time-Out Option

7 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Thank you. I guess I misunderstood that was how that works and/or did not know the underlying operation. Somehow I was thinking this was how much time you wanted to wait to start the threads, thinking run-time meaning start, not how long. Now that you have pointed it out I get it "run time" how long. Looked at that so long ago, it stuck in my mind incorrectly. Thanks as always and glad t

Suggestion: Thread Time-Out Option

7 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Good Morning. I would like to suggest adding a time-out option for the threads gathering all the information. I left NetScan running overnight to do a lot of work gathering a lot of information, but every time I run it, it never seems to finish and is stuck on a few last threads. I assume this is because NetScan thinks eventually it will get the information? It would be nice to have an option t

This happens to me all the time. I run NetScan from several shares I sometimes I forget the columns. Could you just add the MAXCOLS value in the GUI in Options? -WS

You may have your thread set to 400 and it stops until the software can resolve the treads to move on. Just a thought. -WS

Threading issues in latest versions

7 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Andrew, We have noticed since around version 6.1.1 or so and up to 6.1.4 that the threads never seem to finish in the scan. If you press the Force Stop nothing happens the program just hangs until you end it with Task Manager. I have used the software long enough that I have seen this before especially when the workstation has been powered on for more than a month without rebooting, or if you r

Re: Suggestion: add checkbox "Ping network addresses (i.e. x.x.x.0)"

8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Hummm, I wasn't talking using this setting for ranges because you are right you cannot figure out what the network is. But.... Doesn't the software know network and broadcast because of the CIDR notation? Example: Enter: 10.32.8.9 /24 and it (the software) knows the range is 10.32.8.0 to 10.32.8.255 network is the first the last is the broadcast. Enter: 10.32.4.89 /27 and it (the so

Re: Suggestion: add checkbox "Ping network addresses (i.e. x.x.x.0)"

8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Andrew, The above is not working well. Example: I have to add *.*.*.32 for a /28 network but then later when I scan a /24 network I am skipping the .32 address on that /24 network. I have to go remove the *.*.*.32 and if I forget then I am missing one address or in my case lots of addresses on /25 /26 /27 /28 networks with all the added exceptions. ... then on a /23 network it skips the *.*

Re: Suggestion: extend the reading time of pop-up information

I will keep an eye on it. I may have figure out the HTML one. I noticed that if I hover an item that has ... after it but only one or two characters are missing it will NOT pop-up. If I move column over a bit I can see the last two characters or if I move it back a bit and cannot see say four letters then it does the pop-up. Maybe the HTML area is getting messed up because of the periods in the IP

Andrew, Good Morning, I noticed today that the hover over the TCP/IP ports does display the information. Thanks -WS Update: Exit and re-launching the application fixed the issue. (Unknown why it happened).

8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Andrew, Thanks, great idea, and I understand are saying no need for it especially if all networks are /24 or /16, however since I am using CIDR on (/23 /24 /25 /26 /27 /28) the network address is not always .0 sometimes it is x.x.x.64 or x.x.x.96 etc. depending on the network. I was hoping the check box would look at the CIDR information and ignore the network magically. Thanks for a quick

Suggestion: add checkbox "Ping network addresses (i.e. x.x.x.0)"

8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Andrew, I use the CIDR scanning a lot and one of the things I noticed is; it will scan the entire range which is exactly what it is supposed to do. However I typically do not want to scan the Network Address. The reason this would be nice is that when I ping/scan the x.x.x.0 address and am looking up a lot of information the scan gets stuck on this one address and sometimes never finishes unles

Andrew, I appreciate all the work you have done on this. The update didn't seem to fix it. Not that you need to spend a ton of time on this just wanted to note it because you fixed the pop-up to work so much better. I thank you very much. I will do more testing if needed if you feel the need to track it down more. I have another tweak I would put in a new thread. Thanks -WS

Re: Suggestion: extend the reading time of pop-up information

I cannot seem to get the column to show the rest of the information in the pop-up no matter what I do. Do you think the content is messing up the display? I see & and ; and such. I know when I do some programming sometimes I would have issues with programming symbols being displayed because the program had a hard time telling if it was part of the program. Just a thought.

Andrew, Fantastic!!! This is perfect! Works very well. Thank you so much. Note: I may have found one tiny bug. I have the "HTML Page Title" column and for some reason the pop-up wil not pop-up all the time and when it does it truncates the last part of the information. All the other columns work fine. Screenshot should show a complete IP address. Thanks -WS

Andrew, Try Options > Remote WMI > Product Key, I don't have this option in my NetScan, is this because I use custom XML files? If yes what is the code to add it manually? Thanks -WS

Suggestion: extend the reading time of pop-up information

8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum

Andrew, Good Morning. I have a suggestion for the pop-up information in the scan information line. Sometimes there is an error or more information when you hover the mouse over a section in that line. Normally the information is fairly short and you can read it or it if it is a bit longer the pop-up goes away and then you hover over it again and read the rest before it goes a way. Today howe
