Spiceworks use to work fine when I had Windows XP Pro, but now that I have Vista (and changed computer) it doesn’t seem to detect anything. Is it a Vista compatibility problem, or I’m just doing something wrong?

Greetings.

I encourage you to verify your firewall settings.

I’m having a problem with getting data when I run a scan on Vista machines. any suggestions? Firewall settings verified.

Same here - I’ve added Remote Administration to the exception list but the specific problem SW keeps returning is login. It continually turns down my login credentials though obviously I know what they are and use them to login to everything else on our office domain.

Maybe this might help focus the response?

I’m having the same issue since switching to Vista. However, if I test against a single IP it will pass. But it is not scanning a range of IPs.

Plus even though I have Spiceworks added in my exception list and have run the Net SH commands in the help articles it will not scan my local PC either.

There’s gotta be a setting we are all missing somewhere in Vista that was not in XP. Or at least wasn’t so enforced in XP.

Thanks

I just installed this software on 04-19 on my Vista laptop.

Works really good so far.

I scanned a subnet with no issues.

Pulling info for reports is going to be cake.

Vista seems to be intermittent with hardware.

I read of alot of users having compatibility issues, but I have been lucky with this new Dell Latitude D820. Vista runs great and programs that dont work I just go to the executeable properties and run in compatability mode XP SP2.

Try that and see if it helps.
