Re: Downtime monitoring suddenly stopped
3 months ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
Thank you for your feedback. That's a good point. We will change the Speed Meter window to a standard window with buttons. This change will be included in the next release of NetWorx. In the meantime, you can freely open and close the Speed Meter and Connection Monitor. This will not affect the actual monitoring as it is done in the background.
Re: Downtime monitoring suddenly stopped
3 months ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
It seems that your connection monitor window was left open. The connection monitor runs in the background and continues to track uptime/downtime, but it doesn't refresh the window while it remains open. In your screenshot, the last recorded data point is from May 30, and the uptime since then is 105 hours, which corresponds to approximately four additional days, bringing it to the current date.

Re: Disk doesn't work after purchasing a licence and entering the key

There is a chance that your RAM disk may have been labelled as inactive if you allowed the trial version to expire. Please try opening the RAM Disk application, right-clicking your RAM disk and then choosing "Mount" from the popup menu. The disk should then be marked as mountable again and work as before.
Re: Suggestion: Encrypted passwords in Credential Manager
3 months ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
Thank you for your feedback. We have implemented encryption for configuration files in the latest builds. Now it encrypts the default configuration file, as well as any exported configuration. It can be set under File - Current Config - Set Master Password. Once set, the master password will be required for starting the app and loading the configuration, and it will also be used for encrypting

To scan for SNMP ports, you can use the Remote SNMP feature. Please see Options - Remote SNMP in the main menu. There you can tick one or more options to retrieve the data from SNMP-capable devices.
Re: How to create a RAMdrive that is restored after reset/restart
3 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
It appears that you are creating an image and mounting it separately, rather than associating it with a RAM disk. Please see the screenshots below, which illustrate the correct sequence. If done correctly, the newly created RAM disk will have the image file associated with it and the P (Persistent) flag. After that, you can save some files onto RAM disk, reboot your computer, and the files w
Re: Blue dot next to device name

The blue dot next to a device name is a little icon of globe. It means that there is a web interface available for that device. You can double-click the blue dot and it will open the web UI of that device in your default browser.

Re: "Creation of image file failed 87 The parameter is incorrect"
4 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
The solutions for this error are to try using a different size, a different file system, or a different location for the image. It's best to create the image on a local system drive, as it is unlikely to work well with externally connected disks or network disks. In this particular case, based on your screenshot, it looks like you are trying to create a 1 MB image file. This size is insufficien

That's wonderful to hear. Hopefully it keeps working for you so well. In the meantime, we have not encountered this issue in our own tests, and have not received any reports from other users about it.

Regarding the issue with your switches 3, 16, 20-21 and 44 not being discovered during the subnet scan, here is some information about how the discovery process works and some troubleshooting steps you can try. The software sends a regular SNMP-GET request to port 161 at every IP address in the specified range. It first tries SNMPv3 if configured, then SNMPv2c, and finally SNMPv1 to fetch basic

Re: "Driver initialisation failed" on one Dell machine with Gen8 CPU - Solved
4 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
We conducted tests on various Windows 10 versions, starting with version 1507 released in 2017, and discovered that creating folders on FAT32 RAM disks was not possible due to a bug in those versions. However, Microsoft resolved this issue in version 1809 and later, released in 2018, and now everything functions correctly with SERVICE_SYSTEM_START. Given the very small number of users still op
Re: "Driver initialisation failed" on one Dell machine with Gen8 CPU - Solved
4 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
The possible values for Start are: 0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START) The driver or service is loaded by the boot loader. This option is typically reserved for file system drivers, such as those required for the computer to access the boot volume. 1 (SERVICE_SYSTEM_START) The driver or service is loaded during system initialization at the time of kernel initialization. This setting is used for drivers
Re: "Driver initialisation failed" on one Dell machine with Gen8 CPU
4 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
Thanks for the additional information. Yes, a large number of startup tasks can be a factor here. Here are two registry tweaks you could try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SPVVEngine change the Start value from 2 to 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SPVDPort remove the Group parameter. I would probably recommend doing (1) first and reboot. Then
Re: "Driver initialisation failed" on one Dell machine with Gen8 CPU

It seems that for some reason Windows initializes the RAM disk driver with a delay. Therefore, at the time you log in, it is not yet running, but it starts shortly afterward. There are a couple of registry tweaks you could try. We will provide more details shortly.
Re: Block unknown MAC addresses in the router
5 months ago, by Ann in WiFi Guard Forum
Thank you for your feedback. Implementing a custom process to automatically add unknown MAC addresses to your router's block list is a valid approach. However, passing the MAC address as a parameter to the "execute command on detection" feature would be quite complicated. This is because multiple unknown MAC addresses can be detected in a single scan. Executing multiple commands simul
Re: Compatibility with Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct
5 months ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
Unfortunately, virtual disk drives created by our product cannot be used in Microsoft Storage Spaces. Microsoft requires the disks to have SAS, SATA, or iSCSI buses, while our RAM disk implements a generic bus that is incompatible with Storage Spaces. This limitation applies even with the use of persistent RAM disks with associated on-disk images and smart sync.
Re: Graph looks jagged when monitoring OPNsense router
5 months ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
Likely, this happens because updates to the ifInOctets and ifOutOctets occur less frequently. Although I am not certain of the default update interval, it has been identified as approximately 3 seconds by some OPNsense users. Consequently, the data counters only refresh every three seconds or so, leading to a jagged appearance in the graph. While adjusting the update frequency directly may not
Re: Red cross badge on the tray icon
5 months ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
In this case, the error symbol (red cross) on the tray icon indicates that there is an issue with application monitoring. For example, the driver not being loaded. Try disabling any security products, such as antivirus software, because they frequently interfere with the installation of drivers. After that, try reinstalling NetWorx.
Re: How to copy scan results to Excel
5 months ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
You could copy by right-clicking and selecting Copy - Copy Line, but this method is likely to be incompatible with MS Excel. So instead of direct copying, it is better to do exporting. For that, go to File - Save Results - CSV file in the main menu. Then you can open that file in MS Excel.

The fact that you gained some improvement in performance after moving to a RAM Disk indicates that you set it up correctly. But the fact that the improvement was only a small one indicates that in this particular case the read/write speeds might not be the main slowing factor. It is possible that other approaches, such as indexing, query optimization, or database compact & repair, may make
Re: Dialog boxes in macOS app became unresponsive to mouse clicks

It appears to be an occasional issue with macOS. Several people have reported it on Apple's website for different apps and different versions of macOS. What seems to help is moving, resizing or minimising the window. Clicking the button with the Space key may help too.
