    Hi, my Fingbox is saying that it cannot connect.  Then when I go look at services it says its running but it cannot be restarted. This causes it to crash and then the Fing.Agent can be restarted.  Once restarted it says that that its completed 19 checks and has 9 pending in Analysing your setup and the Winxpro1 Not Connected, your network not connected and your internet says contected to …. on the bottom row it says Your current network NOT CONNECTED  and NO INternet under Your internet Provider...…   All this after a windows update and a thunder storm.  Two days ago at least the unit was working as it should and I could make all connections and stuff.  Anyone having any info for me to check on?  I will provide answers and help troubleshoot.

    Hi @PWTCC

    Fing agent needs the Windows libraries which are installed with the WinPcap package during FingDesktop installation, it used to make packet capture and filtering useful our engine to protocol analyzers and network monitors. 
    Fing agent service cannot work properly without the correct installation of WinPcap.  
     
    Please open the command prompt and return the output: 

    • sc query npf 

     
    it's useful to understand if the WinPcap has been installed correctly and it is running properly. 

    If possible please uninstall the older version of WinPcap and install the latest version of Win10Pcap from here and check.

    So I downloaded the Win10 Npcap and it's awaiting distribution.  Okay went to apps and uninstalled the old WinPcap and made sure the Fing.Agent was stopped.  Then I installed the NpCap for Win 10 and started the Fing.Agent again.  This has resolved the Network Issues being displayed.   I now have a fully functional Fingbox and Fing app.
