Re: Netscan did not find the router
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
@brainstuff Please note that if you are scanning less than 15 minutes apart, your router may be looking at this as an attack and will stop responding to pings from your address or to any address for a while (5 to 15 minutes). I have seen this on many devices as security has been increased over the years. I have also experienced this with anti-virus software computers: one ping works, the next d
Re: Remote application idea - Quick CMD
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Andrew, Just a minor note about a very minor problem: When in the applications windows (add/edit/remove), you cannot see the entire command if the command is very very long. I am using some very long commands as I find this part of the application very useful. I have 2 monitors and can expand the column out across both screens to see the entire command but the software truncates it. Again i

Yikes, that is a problem using public IP addresses on your private network is not a good thing. It can cause some very strange issues. You really should consider changing your network to a private IP address space.

Re: Why doesn't the MAC address always show up?

If you are on a routed network, your router has to allow the MAC address. If not, you may not see any or only the routers MAC for all devices.

Re: Feature request: CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Humm, why I think it is a bug is, I need to enter the single IP and then enter the CIDR number for the single IP so it will tell me the range. It does that when you start a from scratch is not supposed to do that if you re-use the range? Thanks.

Andrew, I am trying to remember how I got the error message, so far no luck, but I have been busy moving subnets and I may just be doing everything the same way over and over. Here is one bug I found. If you re-use the IP range and clear the To (second box) all blank and then enter something in the IPv4From (first box) say 10.32.5.121 and then click the exchange button I get the error in the
Re: Feature request: CIDR Notation

Andrew, Found an error. Was changing from 10.32.5.155 /27 to 10.32.4.44 /27 and the software changed it to 10.32.4.0 /22 when pressing the exchange button, I guess software calculated that because in the range was 10.32.5.128 to 10.32.5.159 and I changed to 10.32.4.44 and pressed the exchange button. Then when I changed the /22 to /27 it came up with the error but looks like it change updated
Re: Feature request: CIDR Notation

Andrew, Amazing!! Almost perfect. Two what I hope are minor fixes. #1 For some reason when I click in the range to make a change it scrolls up to the top of the screen (Ugh). Sometimes clicking on the exchange Icon it jumps to the top. I don't think any of the last versions did this. (Screenshot#1) #2 This one may not have a work around, however I see how clever you are so there could be so

Re: Feature Request: CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Thanks for thinking about this...I am hoping for a totally separate box for the CIDR information. A separate box gives you the ability to just change the number in the box. I am sure I think it is just a matter of a box but on the programming side is may be very difficult. {sorry for just presuming} In my example it was an IP 10.32.5.155 TAB>> past the second IP (ending IP) to the CIDR box.
Re: Feature Request: CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Andrew, Any chance I could pay for an update? I would like to ask if you could change the CIDR to work like my first screenshot with the program auto updating if you change the IP. I enter 10.32.5.154 and the /27 and it changes the IP range to 10.32.5.128 - 10.32.5.159 /27 then if I find that the site is really a /26 I change the CIDR it changes the range to 10.32.5.128 - 10.32.5.191.

This software has helped me so much through the years worth every penny! I hate to say this because you have made so many changes and this is almost perfect. What you added is great, however I still need to see the range. Was hoping for that / to be its own box so you could still enter 10.32.4.93 to ___.___.___.___ /27 and it will fill in the blanks as before but then the /27 is just in its

Re: Feature Request: CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Thank you Andrew, believe me this is so awesome. 2 issues with setting it up this way. 1) There isn't a way to change the range once it is set. Which I do all the time. So now I have to use the minus and get rid of the range and then put is back which doesn't work for me because then I have the ranges out of order etc. 2) when I see a 10.32.3.64 - 10.32.3.127 I don't know what / that is. Ok bad ex
Re: Feature Request: CIDR Notation

Andrew, Been using your suggestion for CIDR for a while now. I am finding it not quite as user friendly as I was hoping and I have made a mistake or 2 using it. I would like to ask if you will add the CIDR notation to the main interface as in my screenshot (or similar). I was showing a few other networking guys my "CIDR added feature fake screen shot" and they loved it. I hope you
Re: Feature Request: CIDR Notation

Andrew, Huge thanks as that does work well. It seems to insert the data to after the last IP range which I can work with and then manually move it to the place I want it. Wish List: What I was really hoping for was something like the screenshot I created. You enter 10.32.2.154 Tab Tab and enter 28 and it would change the field-range to 10.32.2.144 To 10.32.2.159 / 28 Thanks for all your ti
Re: Feature Request - CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
The problem with that is that the input method overwrites the ranges I have in use. Then closes all the other ranges I have open. Is there a way to make it only do that in the selected window range and for any range selected? Typically I have 5 or 6 ranges entered to be scanned. Again I think it would be a nice feature to just have a BOX at the end just before the green plus to enter a CIDR number
Feature request: CIDR Notation
8 years ago, by WindowsStar in Network Scanner Forum
Andrew, Would you be able to add CIDR Notation to NetScan? Something like a box at the end of the address range so you can enter a single known address like 10.32.5.40 and in the box put /28 and it would change the range to 10.32.5.32 to 10.32.5.47. Also would be nice to just put in 10.32.9.0 and then /24 in the box and get the 10.32.9.0 through 10.32.9.255 automatically populated. Or maybe you
Re: No scan results for IP range 192.168.1.1 - 255 in the new version

@plotz I have found that depending on the anti-virus software used on the client you are trying to scan/ping it can block ping for a while or all traffic from your IP address. If you try to scan the same subnet too quickly the AV software may block the scan as a threat. Plus the more you are scanning a device the more AV software can think it is a threat I have this happen all the time. I need

Yes please! Not sure were you were thinking of adding it but if you would put it under "Remote VBScript..." that would be great. I have a lot of VBScript's that run from the "Open Computer..." (e.g. the applications tab) and that is how I get around VBScript not on the Remote xxxxx.... pull down. Support in both the Remote xxxxx.... and the Applications Tab would be Awes
