Network monitoring home

I have a home network with 2 workstations under Vista and 2 laptops running windows 7. Is there a way to monitor the network to connect, what computer, user, is where, when?

Hi Kenny1951,

There is no way to network monitor in Windows vista or Windows 7.

There are several third party tools available online that may help you accomplish tasks.

  • Wusb54g v2 - problem with Linksys Wireless Network Monitor Software

    I have a card Linksys USB wireless (WUSB54Gv2) that is currently used with an old HP Desktop running Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    I also have a Linksys Wireless PCI Adpater (WMP54Gv4.1) that is currently used with an old Dell desktop running Windows XP.

    I have a wired and wireless home network... My broadband provider is Verizon FIOS; I use their supplied router because the coaxial cable that provides the internet connection plugs only into their wireless router, not in a modem and a router. I have an encryption key for 128-bit WEP on the side of the network wireless; It is even once managed via the Verizon FIOS router via a web browser (like most routers).

    Two other computers I own are a desk custom-made to date with a direct link to the Verizon router and a laptop from Apple. These two computers are NOT having internet connectivity problems.

    I've updated to the latest drivers for my USB adapter and the car PCI.

    ---

    Here's my problem:

    When I try to connect to the internet using the Wireless Network Monitor software provided by Linksys, computers, I can connect to the "access point", but not internet. This product only when I don't have the key WEP 128 bits in place, when security is disabled.

    If I right click on the Wireless Network Monitor icon in the taskbar and select "Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration", enter my network through windows manually information (including the WEP key), I can connect to the internet perfectly.

    However, when I restart or stop two PC, the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor reactive software itself, where it automatically attempts to connect to the internet, but fails, after which I right click on the icon of the monitor again and select «Use Windows XP...» "and then I connect to the internet.

    Is anyway to disable the Linksys continuously monitor software WITHOUT uninstalling the software or drivers? (I tried this; Windows cannot use or recognize the network adapter).

    ---

    I might just re - activate the Setup Wireless Windows XP every time I close / restart, but other users of PCs on my network (my family) are exceptionally illiterate computer/network and would not be able to learn how to do whenever they want to connect. There is very little practice.

    If there is a way to solve this situation, please help! If all goes well there are other solutions I am open to suggestions.

    I must emphasize that our Apple laptop connects fine when the WEP key is set.

    Once more, looking for quick help!

    Thank you advance!

  • Network Monitor does not not on a whim

    I use Network Monitor to months and suddenly that it stops working today, the tab is still there and I checked devtools.netmonitor.enabled and the value is always true. The problem is the button to launch performance analysis does not respond to clicks, in fact even the filters on the bottom (HTML, CSS, HS, XHR) are not working as (by clicking on them normally should at least highlight in blue but now its totally insensitive to the user clicks)

    I would appreciate any help from you guys. Thank you.

    UPDATE: I solved the problem by resetting all values related to netmonitor and the problem goes away. I don't know why, the values are mixed however. That's why I'm scoring this issue as resolved, sorry for wasting space forum.

  • Problems connecting to a Satellite Pro 4600 for network wireless home

    Hello
    My computer has a processor Athlon 64 x 2 4200 + and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS broadband router and connected with Virgin Media.

    My daughter gave me an old laptop a Satellite Pro 4600 with a 747 MHz Celeron processor, 384 MB of RAM and XP2 Pro has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adapter. I set up a Linksys Wireless - G Notebook Adapter with SRX (model No. WPC45GX), so that I could use around the House. However when I try to connect to the home network, although he "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect and get an error message - "Windows cannot connect to the selected network (my home network). The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available
    networks and try again. »

    I tried to connect with laptop computer in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, the two are shown and both work properly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on the two icons, they say that a network cable is unplugged, but I don't have a cable network.
    The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.

    I presume that the adapter works as it can 'see' wireless networks, I used Lynksys support to verify that all router and adapter settings are correct.
    My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network with no problems.

    Please can someone offer advice or assistance.

    for some reason, you need to turn off your wired connection (cable) and use the client of the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe just the problem that your system can not separate the two network connections and gets an error it s. You should also visit the site Web of Linksys and download the latest driver and the customer for the card, so you can make sure that the software is up to date.

    Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and the support center for any 'knowledge base documents' which could probably solve the problem.
    As your machine is really old and no one is using PCMCIA cards more, you may wait a long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the site from linksys for a support section. Maybe they could help you...

  • Make a network monitor is running "Windows XP mode".

    Since the upgrade to Windows 7, I had trouble getting Bandwidth Monitor Pro to work on it. The program launches but does not recognize the network adapter. If I run it under Windows XP Mode which shows successfully traffic inside the VM on the graph, but no traffic to my host computer of windows7.

    How can I fix it? I've heard of something called 'transition connections' or whatever. Which is relevant to my problem and how do I do it?

    Please don't suggest other bandwidth monitoring software. I tried a bunch of them. None of them compares to BMP.

    I can't help you make your old software works with a newer version of Windows.

    I realize that in your original post, you said that you didn't want advice to use another program, but nevertheless you could take at least one free Microsoft Message Analyzer and its predecessor, the network monitor.  If you don't want to use one of those, you might take a look at the Message Analyzer Team Blog for ideas or ask in the Message Analyzer TechNet forum.  There is also a blog for network monitor and a TechNet forum for it.  Even if work on the monitor network seems to be stopped in 2010, there seems to be some recent posts on the NM forum.

    These forums seem to be the best place to get help for a situation like that you are facing.

  • You cannot change the ID network of home-based business

    I'm changing my network ID of a network of home-based business, but after I restarted my computer it comes back constantly as company.

    Hello Hector,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. Your system has already been connected to a network domain?
    3. What is the edition of Windows 7, you use?

    The question arises after the restart, if your system does not have the authorization of the user to change the location of the network. To diagnose and solve the problem, I suggest you try the following steps:

    Method 1:

    You can also perform network troubleshooting that might help us diagnose the problem better.

    Access the link for more information on troubleshooting network below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7

    Method 2:

    The question may also be due to the user permissions are not available to change the location of the network. You can try the following steps and change the following settings.

    1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the search box and press ENTER. This step opens the local Group Policy Editor.
      (Click Yes if you are prompted.)
    2. Expand Computer Configuration, expand Windows settings, Securitysettings, expand network list manager policies, and then double-click network in the right window.
    3. Go to the network location tab, then click on user can change location under the section user permissions.
    4. Click OK , and then close the Group Policy Editor.
    5. Restart the computer.

    Note: The steps above are valid for Windows 7 Professional, full and business editions.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • fix the miniport (Network Monitor) Wan #2

    Hello!

    In Device Manager, I see the Miniport (Network Monitor) Wan #2 device with a yellow triangle. The status of the device is this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31).

    It is not very alarming because all four network adapters appear to work (Ethernet, WiFi, broadband wireless and Bluetooth), but is still a little awkward.

    Where can I find the drivers for this device?

    Hi Bennet.

    It is not possible to directly delete WAN Miniport drivers. What is the indirect pathway

    (1) Richt click on the yellow exclamation Miniport

    (2) update the driver, and then select Browse my computer...

    (3) on the next screen select Let me pick up...

    (4) remove the checkmark on compatible hardware Show in the list that choose something that can be removed for example Microsoft-> generic Mobile Broadband adapter. and then click Next.

    It will replace the driver for the defective device that that can be removed by the procedure described by Martin Bennet,.
