I have a medium enviroment with 2 x Cat4500 switches and 50 x Cat3650 plus few Cat3750 switches. I'm looking for a network mapping tool to map all the network equipment so I can easy to manage or trouble shoot the network. It doesn't matter if it's free or paid but something I can try first before buy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been in this field for a few years and I found this book, Network Performance Toolkit: Using Open Source Testing Tools, to be very useful. It is full of great open source testing tools and has easy to use instructions for them all.However, to be more specific, I am looking for a packet generator that can simulate network packets over an extended amount of time. So the end result is I have this generator test my physical network for an hour but it simulates a week of real network traffic. Any tool, ideally it be open source?

My suspicion is that my wireless ISP has screwed up in some way. I ran SoftPerfect's Network Scanner and don't see any strange IP addresses, so this stranger's PC is not on my subnet. What tools are available to scan my network and give me more info about the stranger's PC?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a WRVS4400N router and have successfully connected via Quick VPN Client 1.3.0.3 from my laptop running XP. I can ping any IP on my network, I can access HTTP addresses and remote desktop (VNC) applications but I cannot map a network drive.
The network drive is on a PC running XP, I have tried mapping using the system name as well as the ip and neither work. There are no problems mapping the drive(s) when connected directly to the router LAN/WLAN.
I have several computers on a network hooked to a server. All of these computers are running XP and have are mapped to a drive on my server. The problem is, once in a while the mapped drive will suddenly not be there. I can manually remap them and sometimes I have to remap 2 or 3 times before it keeps.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have w7 and the D-Link DIR-655 router.I just replaced the same router that crapped out on me.I'm online with no issues but for some reason, I can't map some of my computers to one another. At first, it seemed like it was going well on a couple of them. Others ask for the windows password.I'm not sure, but I think it's the Homegroup password?I remember one of the the homegroup passwords and all computers are joined, but the only password I recall/know isn't working on any computers.
Questions: Can't I map network drives through the router functionality and do away with the homegroups altogether? I'd really like to do that. I'm not really impressed with homegroups.
if the answer is no, how the heck to I figure out or get new passwords? This wasn't an issue in the past. Not sure if somehow, I changed a setting?While searching around, I found the "manage credentials" area. Never noticed before.
I am running XP Professional 32 bit SP3 on a Dell workstation.I am in a serviced office with internet connection via single ethernet port. This is set up as a VLAN for which I have 4 assigned IP addresses.I am using a Netgear GS605v4 switch to create a small network on my side of the port. Hooked to this is the workstation, the mybook live, and a laptop.All 3 connected components are assigned their IP addresses by DHCP. Both the workstation and the laptop can see the internet without difficulty. The networking of the components is another matter. Focusing on the workstation for the moment:On the workstation, I can ping the mybook. I have always been able to see its upnp logo in My Network Places, and double clicking always takes me to the web browser based dashboard where I can set up the device. I was initially able to see the public folder in My Network Places too, and could map a drive to this in an Explorer window. Typically after some time, the mapping would be lost (even without re-booting the machine), but I would be able to delete the connection and re-map it. After several attempts at this I could no longer map the drive or see the public folder in My Network Places anymore. After much internet searching and playing with lots of the suggested fixes (checking all required services available, matching user names between XP and the drive, playing with 'net view' etc) I was finally able to see and map the public folder yesterday by playing with the 'enable netbios' function in network connections (currently set to 'enable' from 'default' though this had not made any difference previously). I could see the drive in 'net view' though no master browser was listed, and once again map to the public folder, and access files on it.On turning on the workstation this morning I find that the mapping has again been lost. This time net view is back to reporting a system 53 error. I can ping the drive and use the dashboard, and I can see the public folder in My Network Places, but clicking it or mapping to it results in the usual 'network path not found' errors. The laptop is running Windows 7 and has not lost its mapping overnight, and can still access the public files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAt work we have a private network set up so that any computer that is plugged into the wall is on the same network. (i.e. all ip addresses are identical except for the last block of numbers)All machines are running WinXP.We have one computer set up as a file server (computer with shared folders) that is plugged into a wall socket. We have 3 other machines that can see and access the shared folder on the server computer once they are plugged into a wall socket. The odd thing is that these 3 machines have different settings as far as I can tell. They are all on different workgroups but they have no problem finding the shared folder.However, when I go to plug my laptop into a wall socket, I am not able to map a network drive. The error msg says it cannot find the drive. I have my laptop set-up on the same workgroup as the server computer and the server computer can see my laptop. But when I double click on my laptop in the server computer workgroup I get a msg saying permission is denied.
My laptop can connect to the internet, but cannot find the shared drive. I have tried turning off my laptop firewall, the server firewall, both firewalls etc with no success. In my Local Area Connections I have the following all enabled "Client for Microsoft Networks", "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks", "QoS Packet Scheduler", "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
Difference between mapping a drive and adding a network place...?

OK so I am following the steps that i got from off the CISCO site on upgrading the IOS, when i get the the part where if says to:
redundancy reload peer
so after i do that i go to the standby supervisor and i see that it is in a continuous reboot loop. I stop the loop and i reload the sup to the original IOS cat4000-i9s.........
SO i look at the logs and this is what i see:
Aug 12 22:21:01.251: %C4K_REDUNDANCY-6-INIT: STANDBY:Initializing as STANDBY Supervisor

I have a 4503-e with WS-X4013+TS supervisor and WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 card. I purchased a WS-X4648-RJ45-E card and installed but IOS says its unsupported. Supervisor is running 12.2(46)SG software and 12.2(31r)SGA firmware. Obviously I'm hoping this cars can be supported somehow. Do I need to upgrade software or firmware, or return the linecard and get equivalent supported card? Oh, system is running Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software. (cat4500-IPBASEK9-M)
