Version History
This software is fully Windows Vista compatible and
can run in non-admin user mode accounts.
1.92 March 14, 2008
-Fixed problem with locating the results grid cell to write the
root Spanning Tree Protocol information on one model of Dell
switch.

Lock Leftmost Column because the column order can now be changed
to whatever the user desires.
-Right click menu items can change depending on the visibility
of some columns.
-Improved Ping Sweep so it can send ping packets to any number
of ranges of IPv4 addresses. Access to the Ping Sweep List
Editor is in the left control panel.

are warned if you try to disable the switch port you are
connected to.

address are also shown on the port communicating with the root
device.

string into an SQL statement, an SQL error was occurring. Quotes
are now removed prior to creating the SQL statement.

1 Gbps (for example 10 Gbps ports). Notation for speed column
now shows "Gpbs" in addition to "Mbps" where appropriate.

matched to MAC addresses. Also added a ratio showing the quality
of the ARP table matching. Rephrased 'Background' text for

column so that as you scroll to the right, it always remains
visible.
-Updated MAC address/Manufacturer database.
1.57 August 1, 2007

an invalid non-printable value in the ARP table. RFC states that
values should be octet strings, not non-printable binary
characters.

help determine quality of the ARP table retrieval information
and assist tech support when necessary.
-Added status bar messages that will appear during SNMP ARP
table retrieval. The message updates every 25 records.
-Changed default setting for IP to Hostname mapping to unchecked
(off) so that user can choose to see the hostnames when
required. This is currently the one thing that affects the total
mapping speed the most.
1.53 April 24, 2007
-Completely rewrote the algorithm for mapping MAC addresses to
IP addresses and hostnames using the ARP database. This will
greatly increase the speed when the ARP database contains a
large amount of entries such as may occur in an enterprise
network setting.

with excess of 80 characters when the results were imported into
Microsoft® Excel.

store combined ARP tables, IP to Hostname resolver tables and a
number of switch and device parameters for use between sessions.
This greatly speeds up the switch mapping.
-Removed the saving and loading of switch configuration files
since that function has been moved into the working database.
-Many changes to support Microsoft® Vista. We no longer save or
load any data from the registry. All data and settings are now
maintained in the working database.

ports.

address is currently being resolved to a hostname.
-Added more checks for user pressing the Stop button during IP->Hostname
resolve.
