Having trouble installing. It gets hung up at "Registering Fonts". Downloaded it twice with same results.

I installed on a windows XP (SP2) and Win2K (Sp4) - no problem

I've been happy w/ L@L for some time.
I like that it can email/page me of network status.
Has all the functionality of other tools like "What's Up" but alot easier to setup/use.

Great tool. It does not seem to find my XP Pro SP2 computers that don't have anything shared - I guess that means the SP2 firewall is working.

I guess that SP2 "issue" is a pretty good feature if you want to connect to somone's network and not be detected by l@l!

I would disagree on the pingable comment. I used the app with the XP firewall (with ping/ICMP off) as well as my proxy's linux firewall and Zonealarm. It worked correctly on all three.

I looked at the XP SP2 firewall. It is behaving properly - it is not responding to any ICMP requests, which is why it is not visible to l@l. If I adjust the settings, l@l can see the computers.

I've sent a message to the author(s) asking that they take a look as this thread and comment. Meanwhile, there's a note in the FAQ about the ICMP behavior.

Thanks, folks.

Hi All, I'm Carlo Medas, Look@LAN Network Monitor author.

This post is to clarify the situation:
actual Look@LAN freeware version bases its scan upon ICMP ping request/reply: to scan very fast the network, and to not generate too much traffic while doing it, it sends a ICMP ping request as first sampling analysis. It queries about NetBIOS and SNMP only nodes that have previously answered to its ping requests. So we can really tell that this is a huge and tough limit. In fact, in the next release, it will be possible to fully customize the scan criteria, so you will be able to perform a more complete network discovery.

Best regards,

Thanks Carlo. We really like your product.

I just enabled the computer to respond to ICMP ping, and now they are detected.

We look forward to the next release.
