I have the new Fing Desktop App loaded.
I am able to see/access the Fing Box on my local network.
However from the Desktop app how do I access/view a second network with a Fing box on it?
I can see data from the second network on my iPhone or Web browser but have not found a way to add, select and view it from the new desktop app...
Any way to do this?
Pete

Hi @Pete_B
Please check this post for Fing Desktop: https://community.fing.com/discussion/2300/fing-desktop-beta-beta-testers-objective and it might help you answer your question.

please let fing run on windows server

Ciaran · March 6, 2020

Hi @Mat_Moment2, our engineers have worked on this and it can now run on Windows servers:

Initially, please ensure that you are on the most up to date version of Fing Desktop 1.0.1 (as we have included some bug fixes & updates on this release).

To resolve on Windows servers:

Fing Desktop needs to have WLAN Service installed manually. Procedure to install WLAN Drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh994698%28v%3Dws.11%29
Then Fing Desktop will need to be re-installed

Once completed, this should resolve your issue.

Really liking Fing Desktop. Great work.
And the inevitable feature request ;-) It would be useful (to me, at least) to have the option to export the local network device list (with MAC and IP addresses) to some kind of file (PDF and/or CSV preferably). Thank you !!

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I'd really love to see the People component of the mobile app in the desktop app. Linking devices to users is a must have for me.
P.S. Great app, BTW!

User configurable websites to check would 1) allow removal of u desirable web site checking 2) allow checking of user's websites

Fing desktop is faulting multiple times a day, but I cannot find a bug reporting mechanism to send logs and otyher artifacts.

Can you please explain in detail about the issue?

In event viewer, the fing agent is listed as faulting multiple times daily. My new PC is shutting down randomly, so I'm looking at logs and seeing misbehaving fing

I thought I would report what I found, share the logs and such but cannot find any such mechanism. So I thought I'd ask here.

Does fing staff see queries generated from ping desk top (like Fing query 702FE55867FC70B0 and subsequent Fing query 3016A80468B028A0

Ciaran · March 17, 2020

Hi @DG12, if you choose to share them with us, yes. If you decide to save them or share them with other 3rd parties (or keep them personally), then no. Thanks

DG12 · March 17, 2020

I did click "share" and created the query. Is there something else I should do?

Should I create a topic related to the "more than one DCHP" and "No DHCP " ?
