Anyone else use this? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but every time I use this program it'll show me the "name" of a device from a previous scan I did at another site. For example, I have a bunch of stuff on this network that doesn't have a name, so it's showing me the PC names of a bunch of computers on a domain at a commercial job... and I just set up a Marantz AVR and it's showing me it's "IMAC-95483D"...

There aren't many options in this program. Anyone know how to fix this?

you have to unselect the show dead nodes - or something like that. I used to have the same issue.
So now that I only have show alive selected it works perfectly

You can create the network name for the marantz in settings. Not sure all the receivers do that, but mine does.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

Actually I turned that off so it's only set to "show alive" but it still keeps the old names. It's like once it sees an IP address with a name, it keeps that name forever until it sees that same IP address on a device that has a different name.

Ha. Just looked and found there was a newer version. Installed it, ran it, still same old names.

I use this on occasion, I prefer Fing most of the time though. I just scanned my house and it shows gear on my network as expected. Not sure the last place I scanned, but almost positive it was not here.

I use Advanced IP scan about every day. It does EXACTLY what you claim it does: shows names of devices that are not correct. Every time. I assume its because I go from job to job and it doesnt clear some sort of cache. Drives me nuts. Not sure the fix.

That has to be why I have not ran into the issue mentioned above.

Yeah, Fing is great. Never an issue. I also love Wifi Analyzer on Android for planning out wifi networks and checking traffic and range.

+1 for Fing. Net Analyzer lite is good too.

Try running the command
ipconfig /flushdns
and then doing a scan. See if that fixes it.

run arp -a, see if the host names you re seeing are in the arp table on your machine, if so, flush the table

delete the table: arp -d -a

verify an empty table with arp -a

then scan again

Why did I forget that there was a Fing for desktop....I thought it was only mobile. Duh.

I'll check out the DNS and ARP stuff at some point. I'm curious as to what this issue is. Thx
