Re: Importing IP List: lines have been discarded

11 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

It's the standard behaviour of the built-in Windows conversion routine. QuoteThe parts that make up an address in "." notation can be decimal, octal or hexadecimal as specified in the C language. Numbers that start with "0x" or "0X" imply hexadecimal. Numbers that start with "0" imply octal. All other numbers are interpreted as decimal.

Re: MAC Addresses Not Correct on 64Bit App

11 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

It's not related to the bitness. It's the MAC address resolution order. It's happening because for any IP address outside of your subnet, the router responds with its own MAC address rather than target node's MAC address. You just need to change the following settings to fix it: go to Options - Settings - Additional - Resolve MAC address. Reorder the entires as: Router MIB query NetBio

Re: Desk Band and Usage Report detects zero traffic if 'Ignore local traffic' is enabled

11 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

At different times NetWorx builds included either a TDI (Transport Driver Interface) or WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) driver for LAN traffic filtering. Unfortunately it seems the former did not work correctly for some users, while the latter did not work for others. This could be because of a combination of third party products installed on their computers. As of today, NetWorx gives you

These are just random meaningless characters. It does not mean you have some Chinese software. It's a bug in NetWorx that we're currently investigating.

As the investigation has shown, it was the Windows firewall. Anyone facing the same issue, please turn it off or permit all network activity to the BM service.

Re: start two instances

11 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

If I understand you correctly: One network differentiates LAN and Internet traffic The other network does not differentiate traffic These networks are accessed with one WiFi card Then your way to go will be having an installed version and a portable instance. Configure the installed instance to ignore LAN traffic and to be only active when connected to network A. Configure the portable in

RAM Disk doesn't show mounted disk

11 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

The RAM disk software works with both RAM disks and Image files. Most likely you have just mounted an image and not a RAM disk (via Image Create/Mount/Unmount in the main menu). These are not shown in the main screen. To create a RAM Disk choose Disk - Add or Disk - Add Boot Disk from the main menu and it will appear in the list of disks.

start two instances

11 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

This may be more difficult then. By saying you have two wireless networks, do you mean: 1) Two wireless networks to which you connected with two wireless cards at the same time or 2) Two wireless networks to which you connect separately (one or the other) with one wireless card.

Re: Encoding problem

It's a bunch of random Chinese character and they appear because of a bug in NetWorx. Quite a few users have reported and I am currently investigating this.

start two instances

11 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

Then I recommend to have two portable instances in different folders. Each can be set to monitor a specific network only.

start two instances

Generally two or more portable instances work well. What do you need the two instances for?

Issues with Task Manager in Windows 8.1 x64

11 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

I would really appreciate if you could enable kernel memory dumps as explained here and try the latest RAM disk build. If it works, that's great. If not, we'll have valuable information for identifying and fixing this issue.

Settings windows visible op startup

11 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

Not sure what you mean as we haven't changed anything in that area in the latest release. What do you mean by clicking the wrong part of the window may result in exiting?

Redirect http requests

Tick the HDD emulation option on in the RAM Disk's properties. It may be a bit slower, but unfortunately that's the only workaround yet.

Redirect http requests

Re: Redirecting http requests from a particular IP to an external web address

11 years ago, by Andrew in Bandwidth Manager Forum

Yes, it's possible. However it only works for incoming connections (that is those coming to or through the BM machine) and you need to be cautious not to create a circular loop, where the redirect gets caught again and is redirected again, etc. What's your scenario?

How to block P2P traffic

11 years ago, by Andrew in Bandwidth Manager Forum

There is, however it's not guaranteed. Some connections and P2P applications can still pass through. First, make sure P2P is ticked here: Then in the advanced rule settings tick P2P and set that rule's rate limit to Blocked: A better approach would be to use so called penalties, which allow you to restrict connections. For example, if you throttle any connection that has downloaded mo

We seem to have fixed the locking issue. Please try the latets build and let me know if it works okay. You will need to uninstall your existing installation first and reboot.
