Advanced IP Scanner

Hello,

I'd like to suggest a feature to never save or cache any data. I am on different networks for system configuration and troubleshooting daily. One thing that I have to do prior to a scan nearly every time is delete stored data in Options. Otherwise, scanner will show offline hosts from scans on different networks.

I'd much prefer it to never cache and for it to just scan fresh every time, even between repeat scans.

Just downloaded Advanced IP Scanner. I really like it.
Is it possible to change a device IP?   What about making an IP static?
If not can anyone recommend a simple program?

I have T Mobile internet.  It is very limited to what you can do.  Can't even see the devices on the internet.

I added a router and that solved the problem but it had a different IP address and it just screwed up the network at times.
I finally just removed the router and went to a switch. That performed well but I can't change IP  or make dedicated ips.

I have used Advanced IP Scanner for several years.  I have the latest version installed and have obtained reliable results until recently.   My View tab settings only have show alive checked. When I perform a scan of my IP range, 192.168.20.x, all 254 possible connections now show as alive with content displaying for truly live connections.  I have cleared my saved items, but most scans display in this manner.  Every once and awhile, the scan will yield the results I have historically received, i.e. only actual "live" connections being listed. .    

Scan range: 192.168.1.127/25
Options: none of the additional resources

The resulting scan always lists the Broadcast address 192.168.1.127 as active,
(in my case) with the name belonging to IP 192.168.1.19 (name twice in the list) and
with the MAC address of the scanning Windows computer (MAC twice in the list).

This item "127" in the scanned list is shown as active (blue icon) but of course not reachable by ping.

In my opinion this entry should have no name or should be signed as broadcast, show something like FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as MAC address and maybe get an extra icon. Then it would be easier for everyone to understand.


Or you could leave it out completely which would at least be better than showing false information.

Consequently it could be a good idea to implement an extra check if the scanned data belong to any broadcast address.

At least it is easy to fill the list correctly in the case of a correctly given scan range like in my example.

It's there's command line to run the ipscan25.exe to run as portable instead of having to click the next next accept the licensing etc.   I found switches to do an install silently but i want to do same but run it as portable so it won't install. is there's command line to made that happen?

I got a prompt to update and so I did. Now the app crashes.

Event viewer shows:
Windows cannot access the file  for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Advanced IP Scanner because of this error.

Crash shows:
Faulting application name: advanced_ip_scanner.exe, version: 2.5.4594.1, time stamp: 0x62679bd2
Faulting module name: Qt5Gui.dll, version: 5.6.3.0, time stamp: 0x5e25e3d0
Exception code: 0xc000001d

I've uninstalled, removed folder in programdata and reg keys in HKCU and same.

Any ideas?
