I am afraid I can't tell with certainty. I can make a test build that writes a log, then we can see what's going on under the hood. Would you be willing to test it?
Re: Networx Desk Band - Show total usage for Day/Week/Month
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
No, it's not possible for two reasons: The desk band space is really small to include extra information. There's a number of alternative methods, e.g. showing this on clicking the NetWorx icon or hovering it. Besides a total monthly figure isn't probably something you want to check every few minutes
Re: Error at startup: The database location is not writable or does not exist

When restoring from a .DB file, all old records will be gone. There's no need to reset it first. Essentially the DB backup contains both the settings and usage records (earlier versions that used a XML file only backed up usage records).
Re: Error at startup: The database location is not writable or does not exist

Thanks Rod, I have identified and fixed two bugs in version 5.5.1 that I reproduced with your backup file: The list of applications did not convert correctly from earlier versions. Several entities doubled: connection monitor, LAN ranges and automatic reports. The second issue occurred whenever a DB backup was restored. The new build is available here. Note: When the list of applications

Re: The meaning of dial-up in NetWorx Usage Report
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
There are 3 things that NetWorx may record as dial-up: Actual dial-up when you dial a number and use an analog modem Mobile broadband connection, usually through a USB dongle Some kind of VPN connection or another tunnel Please take a look at the Dial-up Sessions tab, it may have connection names recorded that could shed light on it:

There's a chance of missing MAC addresses when scanning a different subnet, because the app uses a NetBios query and it only works for the devices that have it enabled. Is this what you are doing?
Re: Scanning IP range for non-Windows devices
10 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
The usual way: entering their IP range and ticking the options you want. Some will work (for example the OS detection works when Samba is running on a target machine), some won't as there's no equivalent in Linux.
Re: NetStat data transfer difference

I guess this could be acknowledgements or some other kind of protocol data. Not uploading the actual file contents, but talking to other BitTorrent nodes.

Since you have a backup, would you share your version 5.5.0 DB file, so I can re-test the upgrade process and see what happened?
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It could also be a router's issue. How reproducible is it? I mean does it happen, say in 10 minutes, or 1 week? I can add some debug code to see what's happening under the hood, but it's probably not worth doing if the graph stalls very infrequently.

What have you chosen under Monitored Interfaces?
Re: NetStat data transfer difference
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Sorry I couldn't reproduce this. I have installed NetWorx and qTorrent on a Windows 10 machine and all reported numbers were alike. Here is a video I recorded. Unfortunately I am unable to delve in it when this bug doesn't occur, so I guess we'll have to wait to see if anyone else reports it.
Re: Error at startup: The database location is not writable or does not exist

Indeed NetWorx upgrades the DB structure when necessary and converts old data to a newer format. Thing is, there may be a corner case where not all data is converted correctly despite of me double-checking the conversion code. If this happens, I'd love to see an old database that is not correctly converted to a newer format.

What are the MAC address resolution settings in the config file that you feed in? Also what version of the software are you using?
Re: NetStat data transfer difference
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Hmm... do you have IPv6 working? We didn't have a chance to test it properly as our ISP doesn't support IPv6, but there's a possibility that Netstat misses out on some IPv6 connections.
Re: List more parameters, e.g. port names assigned to a switch
10 years ago, by Andrew in Switch Port Mapper Forum
Yes, but I am not quite sure what are you asking for: Extracting additional columns from ifTable? or Assigning your own comments/names to a port? Could you please clarify?
Re: Spyware reports in NetWorx - false alarm?
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
A component of NetWorx may be flagged as NetFilter. This is a third-party network driver used to filter out local traffic, which unfortunately has also been misused in malware by others, thus resulting in it being flagged by your antivirus. You can choose not to install it if you don't need to filter out LAN traffic. In any case, NetWorx is safe. It is simply a situation when the same driver
Re: NetStat data transfer difference
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
I have run some tests and found that this happened because you had Only Established Connections ticked. This option displays established TCP connections only, while a Torrent program usually transfers data over UDP. Simply untick this option and you should be able to see full speed in Netstat.
Re: Generic router name is shown in UPnP
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Hi Crysta, Thank you very much for the donation Regarding the generic router's name displayed, I have done a couple of fixes, so please try this build and let know if the correct name is back. As to the TDI driver, it's only needed if you use the Ignore local traffic within the LAN option. Otherwise you can deselect it during the install, just to save some disk space.
Re: "Ignore LAN traffic" setting became unchecked
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Quotecdg All three start networx at boot-time from a shortcut in the startup folder. Are you using the portable version per any chance? The Ignore local traffic within the LAN option is not available in the portable version and is displayed as disabled in the UI.

This part of the app hasn't changed for a long time. Perhaps it was something else?
Re: Synchronisation query: per-user traffic attribution
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It won't work because the issue is not the port number. Imagine multiple instances of NetWorx running and each one knows the user who runs the instance and much much traffic the computer received and sent. This means if two instance wrote their recordings into the DB, the reported amount would double, three instances - triple, etc. For this reason only once instance is allowed to write to the D
Re: NetStat data transfer difference
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Looks like a bug to me. What are you using for monitoring: the Ignore local traffic within the LAN tickbox or a WinPCap adapter?
Re: Synchronisation query: per-user traffic attribution
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
You see, there are certain technical issues with attributing usage to a correct user (as outlined above) when more than one user is logged on. The only way around this is to keep one user logged at a time as otherwise NetWorx has no way of knowing whose traffic it is.

No, we don't use any frameworks other than the standard DLLs. Thing is, one DLL may refer to another, so try downloading wsnmp32.dll or any additional DLLs it asks about and putting it in the same folder. It's a very uncommon situation, by the way. There are about 10 thousand copies of NetWorx downloaded per day and this is the first time in years someone reports this error.
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It's a standard system DLL present since Windows 2000. If your system doesn't have it, I suppose the system may be damaged or stripped down. You can try downloading it from a web-site though.
Re: Does NetWorx need .Net Framework?
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
It's probably unrelated. The NetWorx app doesn't use .NET and is 100% native code.
Re: Auto-increment problem in back-ups
10 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Like I said it's something SQLite browser does by auto-incrementing the hour field. It may do so for convenience, but it's unaware of the constraints we put on the data. If you want to know what constraints are, you can start here. Bottom line: in order to maintain the database integrity those constraints will not let you enter an hour above 23 or add more than one unique combination of user-da
