This is a good site for port forwarding info:

Follow the steps described on the site, but change to the following (at the bottom of the page):
Service Name: hpfapmon
Service Type: UDP
Starting port: 6000
Ending port: 6000

The server IP address would be the IP for your PC running hpfapmon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23483360 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:01:34 EDT Re: Lets create an FAQ for hnFAPMon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23483311 harvestmoon : Can anyone give me a pointer on getting my Netgear WGR614 to work with hnFapmon?

If you need an alternative that allows you to exclude upload packets from usage tracking you could try the Firefox/Greasemonkey script »https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/56458.

It's not as slick as hpfapmon, as the script relies on the HN usages pages, but better than nothing.

If you decide to give it a go, you'll want to change the script - line below from 'true' to 'false'.

After much paying with Perl unders OS X 10.5.8 and locating all modules necessary, compiling etc. I got both the service and the monitor to work. I think the mode defs for DW6000 are not correct?

In any event, under settings as "home" service, I am not sure what the "Full in 186 h" means exactly, and the BK shows minus 680% (that is -680%) Does that sound correct to you? What a minus 600% means in terms of the FAP?

At the same time Vista (or nvidia) no longer recognizes my LCD widescreen monitor. It loaded a generic CRT and the corresponding resolutions. Of these there is not a correct one available and my resolution is large (too small of numbers).
I am wonder if my graphic which normally sits in the lower right hand corner is actually off screen due to the resolution snafu.

Updated nvidia, no joy. plugged and unplugged the monitor. Vista saw that it came and went but did not recognize it for what it is.

I calculated that zulu time was 6 - 11, just what I already had. I even tried 5 - 12.

CharlieG, do you turn off the computer/server at night? I turn off my laptop at night, downloads happen on my mobile phone. Could it be that hnfapmon needs the main service on with W7 & Vista? W7 & Vista are almost the same animal, from what I understand.

The symptom is that the rx and tx values continue to be constantly zero. That usually occurs when the command number is wrong for the current software release. Mine is 5.6.1.35, since August 2008. But, lest I mislead anybody, I just got a new pc with Vista, and I've reinstalled hnfapmon due to that.

Problem:

It started out as a discussion about what a stickied FAQ might include...
then sort of vaguely turned into the actual FAQ but with no editing or anything, it's not at all clear.

Then, inevitably, it's become a troubleshooting thread.

This makes it fairly ineffective as any one of the three things.

Solution:

Rework this into two new threads, with one or both stickied:

1) hnFAPMon FAQ. Can use suggestions from the beginning of this thread and make it simple or more complete, but clear and concise in any case. Every program needs one and this is the place to do it.

Lock it to all but Brian or whoever is the OP.

Definitely include the questions: "Fapmon is not working - what do I do? and "What are the current numbers I need to have in my modem defs? Go here: xxxx

This way people can go to the thread and actual find the info without sorting through a bunch of (often repetitive) dialogue and noise.

2) A thread called "Troubleshooting hnFAPMon". This can be the place for the dialogue. Periodically, as new problems/solutions are found, they can be added in a concise form to the FAQ.

The troubleshooting thread could be stickied or if not, then a permanent link within the FAQ could be made. Call it "what if my problem is not discussed here?" - Go to: xxx thread.

I wonder if you have "automatic updates" enabled in Windows, and it is updating itself to cause the problem to return? Restore again and turn Automatic Updates (System CP) off first thing.

Sounds like maybe some Windows update, or other program you installed, has created a conflict for you. Can you do a System Restore to a date prior to when this stopped working, and see if the problem goes away?

That's what I have and it works. Did you reboot your Server PC after installing?

@Raminto, but isn't it the case that Standby mode for your laptop is a mode where the laptop's CPU isn't doing anything? Standard hnFAPmon service op requires it be talking constantly to the modem.

I've since discovered that I likely changed the modem defs (.pm) file for my DW6000 while the hnFAPMon service was running, because I re-installed and this time said "don't run first" which is the default.

In any case, if anyone else has trouble perhaps a simple Stop and Start of the hnFAPMon service (using services.msc in XP) might do the trick! :p

12) I have several systems. How do I install hnFAPMon?

• Choose one system as the master. The master should be the system that is on most of the time. On that system, install the hnFAPMon Service and Client. On all other systems, only install the Client.

• Do not install the Service on more than one system! You will get strange readings in the client
When YOU ran the install, the option was there for installing client or service. When YOU run the install on other computers make sure you do not install the service on them.

Can I monitor FAP on different computers (same Sat connection) at the same time?

How do I do that?

Does FAPmon have to be installed on all computers in the LAN to work?

Does the server computer have to be near/connected directly to the modem?

Does it have to stay on?

If the server computer gets turned off, what happens?

or

If the server computer gets turned off, is the bucket reading wrong when it comes back on?

Sorry for not sorting this out better, but it's raw input at least!

I'm not sure if you want to fix this or just explain it in the FAQ.

After downloading, installing the latest monthly Windows updates (Vista) and then rebooting, I usually get the ???

A second reboot resolves the problem. I think hnFAPmon times out on starting because of all the Windows activity in registering the updates on the reboot.

Not a big problem.

1) What is hnFAPMon?
...
I'm better at writing code than documentation...
Then how about something like...
...only in Perl.

Here's the best I could come up with:
If you're a HughesNet satellite internet customer, you're subject to their Fair Access Policy (FAP). If you download more than your plan allows within a certain length of time, your download speed will be reduced to less than the speed of dial-up for the next 24 hours. So how do you know how much you've downloaded and how close you are to going over the FAP limit when HughesNet doesn't tell you? hnFAPMon will show you how close you are to the FAP limit along with other useful information such as signal strength, current and average upload and download speeds, and any problems your modem may be experiencing. The hnFAPMon Client is the portion of the program that displays all of that information on your screen. The hnFAPMon Service gathers the information from the modem and sends it to the Client. If you only have one computer connected to your modem you'll need both Client and Service installed on your computer. If you have multiple computers connected to your modem through a network, you'll need to install the Service on one computer and install the Client on all of your computers, but even if a computer on your network doesn't have the Client installed, that computer's downloads are still monitored by the Service as they pass through the modem.

Oh and remember the problem I have

Q: Can I install this one or more computers?

and

Q: Why FAP rate is over 100%?

That too needs to be on FAQ.
What do you mean by over 100%? Do you mean "Why does hnFAPMon show -xxx% sometimes?"

Multi-computers is a good one. Thanks.

I'm not sure what the question is but...

Understanding recovery rate and the floating 24hr FAP period helps explain how a bucket can be full just before the end of 24hrs rather than empty even after downloading the 24hr "limit."
That's more of a generic HN question, but a good on to add to the FAQ: How does hnFAPMon calculate the bucket?

We don't know how HN calculates the bucket, hnFAPMon is doing it's best with that I've learned.... (and getting better with the input I've received lately)

$60 Home Plan on HN7000S 99W 970MHz]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19752072 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 22:04:02 EDT Lets create an FAQ for hnFAPMon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19751930 millham : I'd like to create an FAQ for hnFAPMon. I have permission to create a sticky once the FAQ is ready.

I really think that there is a need for this. There are lots of questions here about hnFAPMon.

So where I need help: What do you think are good questions and if you know, the answer.

Some ideas to get things started

1) What is hnFAPMon?

1A) What is the fap.ini file?

• fap.ini is where hnFAPMon reads information about the various HN plans for bucket size, recovery rate and when the FAPFree Zone starts.

1B) What is a modemDef?

• The modemDefs have the location of the various web pages stored in the modem that hnFAPMon uses to calculate usage. The location of these pages vary depending on the modem model and firmware release.

1C) Where can I get the latest modemDefs and fap.ini?

• You can download the latest versions from »downloads.sourceforge.net/hnfapm···etup.exe

You only need to install it on the system that is running the hnFAPMon service. Systems running the client do not need the update

1D) What modems does hnFAPMon work with?

• hnFAPMon works with all of the standalone modems from the DW6000 and up. It will not work (and there are no plans to make it work with) modems older than the DW6000.

2) What operating systems does hnFAPMon work on?

• hnFAPMon works on all Windows systems from Windows 2000 and up. hnFAPMon will work with any non-windows system, as long as you have Perl, and the required packages installed.

3) How do I install hnFAPMon os Linux/Mac OS X?

4) I just installed hnFAPMon, but all I get are question marks in the client.

• First, check the basics. Make sure that from the system where you installed the hnFAPMon Service that you can access the modem with your web browser. The link to do this is »192.168.0.1

• If you are able to access the modem, install the latest modemDefs available at »downloads.sourceforge.net/hnfapm···etup.exe

5) Does hnFAPMon work with wireless networks?

• Yes, hnFAPMon will work fine with your wireless network. However, you must make sure that your wireless router allows traffic on UDP port 6000.

6) Why does hnFAPMon show that the service is not responding when I'm doing a download?

• When you are downloading, the HN modem appears to give priority to handling the download traffic. When this happens, the built in web server stops responding to requests. The current version of hnFAPMon depends on the modems web server to gather the usage data, so when the modem does not respond, hnFAPMon will show either that the service is not running, or that the modem is not responding.

Once the modem "wakes up", hnFAPMon will be able to calculate the amount of data downloaded while the modem was sleeping.

7) My modem just received new firmware. Why is hnFAPMon not working now?

• hnFAPMon reads specific web pages from the modem to gather the usage data. When HN updates the firmware in the modem, the frequently change the location of the pages that hnFAPMon needs. When this happens, hnFAPMon will show you Signal Strength, but no TX/RX data.

To fix this, download the latest modemDefs here: »downloads.sourceforge.net/hnfapm···etup.exe

8) How do I turn off those annoying pop-ups?

9) hnFAPMon seems to have the wrong time for the FAPfree zone.

•The current version of hnFAPMon had a problem switching from Daylight to Standard time.

You can download the updated fap.ini file to fix this problem at the following link:

»downloads.sourceforge.net/hnfapm···etup.exe

When you run the setup, make sure that you select Update fap.ini to latest refresh rates This will fix the time problem, and also update you to the latest refill rates that have been calculated.

10) How do I adjust the recovery rate?

11) Where can I download hnFAPMon from?

• The current version of hnFAPMon is available at »www.sourceforge.net/projects/hnfapmon

12) I have several systems. How do I install hnFAPMon?

• Choose one system as the master. The master should be the system that is on most of the time. On that system, install the hnFAPMon Service and Client. On all other systems, only install the Client.

• Do not install the Service on more than one system! You will get strange readings in the client

13) Is hnFAPMon endorsed by HughesNet?

• No. There are various reports that HN will tell people to use hnFAPMon, and other reports that they tell people to not use hnFAPMon because it is not accurate.

14) I was downloading a bittorrent/playing a game/etc. and hnFAPMon did not show any activity. Why?

• The current version of hnFAPMon misses some traffic. This is being researched, and should be corrected in the next release of hnFAPMon.

15) My bucket is showing a large negative number, but I'm not FAPed. Why?

• This problem is still being researched. The best guess at this time is due to heavy downloading during the FAPFree Zone. If the modem does not respond to hnFAPMon during this time, but suddenly wakes up at 6AM, hnFAPMon will think that the download happened outside the FAPFree Zone. This is still just a guess as to what happening.

16) Is hnFAPMon free?

• hnFAPMon is free; released as Open Source. However, donations are accepted. If you would like to donate, go to »www.sourceforge.net/projects/hnfapmon and look for the Donate link.

Other ideas? Please help me here. I'm better at writing code than documentation...
