Good news, I have been able to identify and fix this bug. It only appeared when the Ignore LAN traffic option was on, on Windows Vista, 7 and 8 and only on 32-bit. Please download the fixed build here: INSTALLER

On what system? Linux, Mac OS, Windows?

You just need to choose ONE specific network interface to monitor in the settings. As installed NetWorx is monitoring all traffic on all network interfaces, possibly including local traffic or multiple adapters including virtual and dial-up ones and sums it all up. This results in incorrect readings.
Networx 5.2.8 crashes when ignore lan traffic is switched on
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It would be helpful if you could run the following debug version of NetWorx. Simply replace your file NETWORX.EXE in the folder where you have NetWorx installed and make it crash. It will then allow you to send a bug report that would help me identify the issue. Make sure you replace your EXE file with the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version from this archive.

Noted that. Will do in the future

Please be specific and describe what exactly error you are experiencing, as well what is your OS, 32-bit or 64-bit and whether you are using the new Hard Disk Emulation mode in the new version.

Hi Gavin, On April 29 I was emailing new license keys for this version to everyone purchased BM. If you have not received a license key, simply drop me a line through support and I'll email your key again, so you then can run a licensed copy, not just a trial.

That's right, when the Ignore LAN box is checked, it monitors all network activity through all available connections, so if you'd like to monitor a specific adapter, choose en entry from the drop-down list of interfaces. This would mean using WinPCap. It's okay to leave both drivers installed, they do not interfere or otherwise affect each other, so you can use WinPCap driver alone.

Version 3 supports editing multiple rules at once. No need to go and edit each rule individually, if that's what you are asking about.
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It's up to you really. You can continue to use WinPCap which works better for some users. In this case don't tick the Ignore LAN option, instead choose an entry from the drop-down list of interfaces. Or you can tick the Ignore LAN option, in which case NetWorx uses its own driver and if everything works okay, you can remove WinPCap.
Re: Replacing old installed NetWorx with a new portable version
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Yes, copy your data files from (depending on your system) either c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SoftPerfect\NetWorx or C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\NetWorx and place them into the folder where you unzip the portable version.

This graph should update once you scroll the view above it, so it reflects what's displayed in the top view. As 1 hour worth of data, I stand corrected. It was one hour when I last looked at it, now it's 65535 seconds or about 18 hours.
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
There's per hour data as shown below. It's quite dumb as the rates are calculated as volume divided by time, but may suit your purpose.
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Not really, NetWorx only keeps 1 hour worth of data, so you can see your traffic up to 1 hour back. See here on how to do it under "Useful keys".

Well it's a misdetection, however I do recommend to remove the trailing backslashes. Make it R:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temp without a slash at the end. This warning message will be gone. When you have that extra slash at the end of TEMP-path it may also cause certain applications to fail.

This is topic is about version 3.x, which does support multiple streams per rule (with automatic creation based on IP or MAC address). So probably you won't need to use the groups at all with version 3.
12 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
2Michael. This is because the new version will become 3.4 release, but the the meantime version 3.3.3 is the latest release. Just ignore this message as it's a dumb comparison of two strings. 2mwoffenden. What is shown on the screen if you choose Tools - Set Windows TEMP folder from the RAM Disk's main menu? Please post a screen shot if possible.

What exactly doesn't it support properly? What's wrong with the groups?
Re: Task Manager crashing - how to solve
12 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
This issue has been fixed in this new update. For some reason Windows 8 Task Manager doesn't like standalone volumes and crashes. It however seems to work normally if you create a RAM disk with complete HDD emulation enabled, which is a new option in this version.
12 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
After quite a while we are glad to present a new beta version 3.4 that includes complete hard disk emulation, bug fixes and optimisations. Please post your feedback in this forum.

We have fixed a number of issues in version 3.0.2 available from the BWM home page, including this one with chaining domain names. Please give it a go. As to the torrent detection, well it uses heuristics and there is no guarantee it will always catch it. It however improve over time. Alternatively you can use "Penalties" that allow you to discourage heavy downloads regardless of prot
Scanner is hanging on specific devices
12 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
This tends to happen with some devices (I mean devices with a custom TCP/IP stack unlike regular computers). My best guess is that the device they don't answer a request in a timely manner and Windows waits indefinitely for it to complete.

Ronny, could you please post your .DB file here or email it to me, so I can check it for you?
Re: Running Networx as a Service
12 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
We are going to add this in the future, but it cannot run as a service at the moment. You can however use SRVANY or a tool like FireDaemon to run it as a service.

The Networks button lets you exclude certain networks from monitoring. It detects all networks that you connect to and identifies them based on the MAC address of the default gateway. You can either monitor all networks that you are roaming in, or specify networks to monitor. It's not the same as which adapter to monitor. As you have your 3G dongle connected at the same time as the WiFi router
Re: Some hosts missing username, model, processor or serial number

It could be virtually anything, but often a firewall or more likely a lack of privileges (Windows 7 and higher have tighter default security settings). If you have some networking experience, launch WireShark and see what responses the network scanner receives (if it receives anything at all).

I remember about the refresh thing and we'll do it as soon as more priority tasks have been done. In the mean time, we have added an option to specify domain names, which could be especially useful for banning certain web-sites. Domain names can be specified in a rule or in a group in the form of domain.tld. Any sub-domains will match it too. For example facebook.com will match facebook.co

No it's not. Try uninstalling it, rebooting and installing again.
