Re: Driver version information is not updated
3 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
The drivers have actually been updated to the newest version. However, the corresponding INF file in the Windows\INF folder has not been updated, causing the Device Manager to display the wrong version. You can check the actual driver files and their versions directly: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\spvve.sys %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\spvdbus.sys We will review the installation proced
Re: Graph notifications are not closing automatically
3 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
There has been a change in the application behaviour from version 5. In version 7, all features were redesigned, including the notification logic you are referring to. Now, the graph displays when a set threshold is reached, but it won't automatically disappear as it used to. This change was implemented for a couple of reasons: To ensure that the users who are away from their computer can se
Re: Driver version information is not updated

It may require one or two reboots for the drivers to be replaced. This is because Windows locks the driver files early in the boot process, and up to two reboots might be necessary to successfully replace or update them.

Re: Taskbar graph overlaps icons when using multiple desktops
4 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Sorry, we couldn't reproduce this issue. Are you using NetWorx version 7.2 or earlier? We've made significant improvements to Windows 11 taskbar support in version 7.2.1, which should also prevent such overlapping issues. Additionally, the graph can now be docked on either side of the centered taskbar.
Re: NetWorx on Mobile Hotspot Device
4 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Unfortunately it is not possible to load NetWorx directly onto mobile hotspot devices, as those devices use custom operating systems that are not compatible with the software. NetWorx is specifically designed to run on desktop machines operating under Windows, macOS, or Linux. However, most mobile hotspot devices typically include built-in stats or usage meters. They may be not as advanced and
Re: Feature request: Start a scan on keyboard key press
4 months ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
It might be challenging to determine whether, upon pressing Enter, the user intends to modify settings or make adjustments after selecting a bookmark before starting the scan. As a practical solution, you could configure a hotkey or key combination for initiating the scan directly. This way, after selecting a bookmark, you can simply press the hotkey to start scanning immediately.
Re: MacOS version, or a way to run under Wine
5 months ago, by Andrew in Connection Emulator Forum
Unfortunately it will not work under Wine because it relies on a driver within the Windows networking stack, which is not supported by Wine. For macOS, you can use a tool called Network Link Conditioner, which is part of Xcode and can be installed as explained here.

Re: How to delete a specific file on each startup
5 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
RAM disk is a volatile storage solution, meaning it doesn't retain any data across system restarts. When your computer starts up, the RAM disk presents an entirely empty drive, without any files or folders. Therefore, there's no need to specifically configure it to clear a particular file, as all content is cleared automatically on shutdown.
Re: Browser cache relocated to RAM disk reverts to default location
5 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
There are a few possible reasons for that: Some browsers may delete and recreate cache directories during updates. This process often ignores existing symbolic links to a RAM disk and creates a new regular directory in their place. Security software or system policies may flag symbolic links in certain sensitive directories as potentially unsafe or unusual, especially in critical system folders

Re: How to exclude local network traffic without monitoring applications
5 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
When monitoring a network adapter, it is not possible to exclude local traffic. In this mode, NetWorx simply checks the bytes sent and received by the adapter every second, without distinguishing between local and external traffic. As a result, local activities like file copying between computers are still recorded. The application monitoring feature processes traffic in a more sophisticated wa
Re: How to check RAMdisk health
5 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Running mdsched (Windows Memory Diagnostic) is primarily for checking physical RAM for errors. As a RAM disk is a virtual disk created in RAM, its health is dependent on both: the physical memory itself and how the software handles it. While mdsched is good for identifying RAM issues, for specific issues with the disk you should also check file system integrity and do performance testing. Here
Re: No graph is displayed for SNMP connection to a Huawei router
5 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
The fluctuations in your graph are caused by the misalignment between the polling interval (1 second) and the SNMP device's internal update interval (also 1 second). This misalignment can result in either receiving the same (stale) data twice or getting doubled values if two updates are read during a single poll. I believe this issue existed in the previous version as well, and unfortunately, ther
Re: Edge browser is not listed in Cache Relocator after moving its cache to RAM disk
6 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Cache Relocator looks for %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\XXX\Cache, where XXX is a profile name. You can check if you have any profile folders there or try deleting the entire %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data folder, which will prompt Edge to create a new one. This might help Cache Relocator recognise Edge again. Regarding creating additional directories on your RAM disk at boot
Re: No graph is displayed for SNMP connection to a Huawei router

One straightforward way for us to access the A10 would be by running TeamViewer in a virtual machine on your PC, but it's up to you. If you're comfortable monitoring the Huawei interface connected to the A10, that could also serve as a good workaround. Thank you for the data you've provided - it has helped improve NetWorx for everyone.
Re: No graph is displayed for SNMP connection to a Huawei router

This one is a bit trickier. With the Huawei F1A, we were able to use a publicly accessible device for testing, but we haven't been able to find any publicly available A10 CGNAT. If you could grant us read-only remote SNMP access to your device, we'd be happy to take a look and hopefully resolve the issue. To avoid sharing access details publicly, please open a private support ticket.

Re: No graph is displayed for SNMP connection to a Huawei router
6 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It appears that my assumption was correct - your router updates the interface counters only about once a minute. Please see the consolidated data below: the time between Run1 and Run9 was 55 seconds to update the SNMP counters, which explains why your chart bars are spaced approximately one minute apart. If there is a setting in your router to update the data in the ifTable more frequently,
Re: No graph is displayed for SNMP connection to a Huawei router
6 months ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
The SNMP output appears correct, but the graph suggests that the issue is likely due to SNMP update timings. The columns in your graph are evenly spaced, which suggests that the data is only being updated approximately once per minute. To test if this is the case, use the following command to retrieve ifInOctets for all interfaces: echo %TIME% & snmpwalk -r:10.255.255.100 -v:2c -c:bcrbfu

It's possible that the Huawei router is not displaying the graph due to several reasons: Invalid SNMP Credentials: Ensure that the SNMP community string and credentials are correct.

Re: WAN Connection Emulation on an Air-Gapped PC

That correct, it isn't designed to simulate a full internet connection or make the system believe it's connected when it's not. Its main function is to apply WAN conditions like bandwidth limits, latency, and packet loss to an existing network connection. That said, if you are writing this message from the same computer, it means you are already connected to the internet. You can use netstat or
Re: WAN Connection Emulation on an Air-Gapped PC
6 months ago, by Andrew in Connection Emulator Forum
The network interfaces you mentioned (WAN Network Interface (IP), (IPv6), and (BH)) are virtual and typically appear in specific configurations like dial-up or PPPoE connections. If your computer is connected via regular Ethernet or WiFi, these interfaces usually won't show any meaningful traffic. Regarding the Established Connections window, it functions similarly to a built-in netstat tool, d
