2. Packets.
When you opened a captured file in AthTek NetWalk, you will see a new tab named “Packets” created on left. Real-time traffic analysis doesn’t support Packets tab. In Packets tab, network administrators can read all the communication details including requested IP addresses, ports, protocol, etc. If a common packet analyzer enables network administrator to see a naked data, AthTek NetWalk enables users to see a reliable anatomical traffic data through detail and hex view tool.

3. Layered View.
There are 3 layers in Layered View section: Application, Net&Transport and Physical. A significant different is, you can see communication flows in postmortem packet analysis.

4. Events Tab.
In Events tab, network administrator can jump to the communication flow when it is a postmortem packet analysis.

5. Matrix Map.
In Matrix Map, real-time analysis only marks active connections in green, while postmortem analysis marks all successful connections in green.

In short, postmortem analysis enables network administrators to see all communication details happened on the network. All you need to do is to capture packets and open the captured file in AthTek NetWalk.

The best lightweight MAC and IP scanner application for small business should be safe in network scanning. Safe is the most important attribute of a network management system. The MAC scanner or IP scanner itself shouldn’t contain any suspicious program inside, and it must not invisibly upload the result to internet after scanning. If possible, the scanner should be in password protected. Usually, if the MAC or IP scanner can work without internet connections, it was safe for small business, still, you should always get in contact with the salesforce team to make sure you are doing the right thing for your business.

For example, if there are more than 200 computers in your company. With a free MAC or IP scanner, you could hardly scan the entire intranet within minutes. Always the free MAC or IP scanner will crash when it reached 50 addresses or so. Actually, there are reliable MAC and IP scanners which cost only $21.

The best lightweight MAC and IP scanner application for small business should be capable but small. It should be able to find more than 100 IP or MAC addresses within 60 seconds, and make all the data backup safely. It should support both ARP and UDP scanning methods and custom scanning range.

However, with the smart LAN software, you can efficiently control and have a good management of this local area network. And as IP-MAC SCANNER is in Built-in IP Scanner, MAC Scanner, and Ping Tester three components, when you scan is complete the data can be imported or exported. If you make ip-mac binding, as long as the user changes his ip can not get on the net, must be changed back to the original ip before they can access the Internet.

As using this ping test, you can not have to use Windows ping tool, which brings convenience and time-assuming work. In my mind, this software has another important application is data backup and restore, which can be viewed as this: As a professional and considerate LAN management tool, IP – MAC Scanner also enables to backup and restore the scanning results. It supports to import or export as “.xls” and “.bat” files format. Therefore we can have a good acknowledgement during a period and have a precise decision based on these data.

However, nearly small amount of people get to know the way to get hostname and workgroup and even the name of adapter cards. Learn more about wordpress hosting at the link.

Now i will describe one way to get hostname: Start — run — cmd — ipconfig / all — you can view the configuration information related to the machine, which has a line: Physical Address and so on. The information that is displayed behind the MAC information; the first line shows the host name is the host name.

Next, i will describe one way to get workgroup: Working group on the local computer desktop select the “My Network Places” right-click “Properties”, open the “Network Connections” window, click on the “Advanced” menu, click “Network ID” to open the “System Properties” dialog box, you can see or change the “Computer name” and “Workgroup” name. Computer is not the same as a group can not be shared.

However, to get the name of adapter cards is a hard work. And i think the two ways described above is not very easy to execute, so i am looking for a network tool to get, after some trials, i think IP-MAC Scanner is not a bad choice. And i will use some time to introduce it to all of you.
