TrafMeter FAQ
 

Q: What is the difference between TrafMeter Editions?

A: See table

Q: Is it possible to run TrafMeter and TrafMeter Lite simultaneously at the same PC?

A: No. Only one instance of the TrafMeter Service can be running at any time on one PC. But you can run several instances of TrafMeter Administrative Console for remote management TrafMeter Services from the same PC.

Q: I've got the message "Cannot allocate memory for new filter". What is it?

A: This means that you are using trial version and you've exceeded the maximum number of filters in the trial period. To remove this restriction, you should purchase a license.

Q: Should I use different versions of TrafMeter Administrative Console for managment TrafMeter Service and TrafMeter Lite Service?

A: No. TrafMeter Administrative Console works with any editions of TrafMeter Service.

Q: How to restart TrafMeter Service using command line?

A: If you run TrafMeter Service as a Windows NT Service, you can use the commands:

  • net stop trafsvc will stop TrafMeter Service
  • net start trafsvc will start TrafMeter Service

Q: I've lost a password for TrafMeter Service. What should I do?

A: Remove the registry key [HKLM\Software\TrafMeter Software\TrafAgent\Settings\Password] and restart TrafMeter Service. After that, the password will be blank.

Q: I've specified a wrong IP address for accepting incoming connection of TrafMeter Service (dialogbox "Options", tab "Administration"). As result, I can't connect to TrafMeter Service on any address using TrafMeter Administrative Console (got "Error code = 10057"). What should I do?

A: This is a security feature of TrafMeter and you should use it when you exactly know what you are doing. To reset listen address, remove the registry key [HKLM\Software\TrafMeter Software\TrafAgent\Settings\BindAddr] and restart TrafMeter Service. After that, you may connect to TrafMeter Service without problem.

Q: Is it safe to manage TrafMeter Service over network? Can someone sniff my password for TrafMeter Service?

A: Remote administration is absolutely safe. TrafMeter uses one-time passwords for administration. So, sniffing the network packets for TrafMeter plaintext password is useless. 

Q: What personal firewall do you recommend to use together with TrafMeter?

A:  There is a built-in firewall coming with Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP.

Q: After installing TrafMeter on PC with ZoneAlarm, I see blocking all network activity via one of network interfaces. What's wrong?

A: Unfortunately, ZoneAlarm uses nonsafe NDIS hook that conflicts with TrafMeter's driver. We can't resolve this problem.

Q: TrafMeter doesn't detect my network adapters. What should I do?

A: First, reboot your PC. This really helps in 33% cases. Second, send us the file "support.txt" from TrafMeter's startup folder (by default, "c:\program files\TrafMeter\support.txt").

Q: I'm logging captured HTTP host headers and packets in Microsoft Access database. First, all worked fine. Suddenly logging errors have appeared. What's wrong?

A: Probably, you have exceeded a limit for size of Microsoft Access database. Check for http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302524&Product=acc2003
