Netlimiter 2.0.10

[k56flex]

Netlimiter 2.0.10 x64 caused windows 7 completely crash and force restart. Is anyone know what are the alternatives. I would like to shape ongoing and outgoing traffic per applications.

I had a play with these two a long while back, unfortunately I can't remember if it was x86 or x86-64 OS I was running at the time.

Netmon Network Monitor

Bandwidth Manager for Windows - Bandwidth Controller

Let us know how it goes, please.

Netmon Network Monitor seems to be too complicated and advanced. Bandwidth manager for windows, refuse to install in my 7 x64.

I installed Bandwidth manager for windows and it worked (I have x32), but couldn't find a way to limit the speed for a specific application.
and I couldn't even try Netmon Network Monitor because there isn't a way to download before buying

I'm using netlimiter 1.3 and works perfectly

i have to question you on this.... :shock::shock:

i see you are on 7 x64. Well, netlimiter didnt have support for x64 Vista until version 2.0.10. And they have announced on their webpage on march 3rd 2009 that version 3 will support windows 7. Now I myself have tried installing this app under 7 x86 version 2.xx. No matter how its installed using every install trick, it doesnt want to load the netlimiter controller, and upon reboot you get a bsod.

So, i'm curious, are we talking about the same program here ?

NetLimiter - The Ultimate Bandwidth Shaper

I have installed Netlimiter 1.3 successfully under W7 x32. It gave a warning during the installation that Netlimiter is not compatible with this version of Windows, but installed anyway. The program runs well, I can easily control the speed of down- and uploads with it. HOWEVER...after installation of Netlimiter, I cannot view any webpages with internet explorer, it just changes the addess automatically into Vista Forums and gives an error "cannot find the page". Strange, because internet is properly connected, DNS servers are ok, and i CAN view website with Netscape...

netlimiter 1.3 is the most popular versin before the 2.0. I used for a long time. now I am using cfosspeed it has its own limitng capacity in options. it also determines the upload and download limits and configures them.

Hey folks, Just installed, restarted and quickly tested Netlimiter 2.0.10 x64 on the 7100 build. Happy to report that I haven't seen any problems so far, everything seems good.

The installer was softblocked, and needed to be in compatibility mode (I used vista-sp2) to allow the install, but it looks like whatever was BSOD'ing in earlier builds has been resolved.

 

[junkie26]

kojin: Did you install the Pro version (monitor and control bandwith) of Netlimiter 2.0.10? Or only the Lite version (monitor bandwith).

And what do you mean with softblocked?!

 

[kojin]

>_> sorry, pro version, with all the trimmings. When I say softblocked, I mean you get the compatability warning, but it gives you the option to install all the same, as opposed to blocking it completely.

 

[junkie26]

Tried to install the 2.0.10 Pro version, but cannot start the program:

"Couldn't connect to NetLimiter 2 service. The RPC server is not listening"
When I try to start the Netlimiter service manually from Services, I get the following error:

"Windows could not start the NetLimiter on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1"

Any ideas?

 

[kojin]

Did you restart after the install ? If not, the service wouldn't be running, and I doubt you'd have much luck manually starting it prior to a restart.

My guess is that in order for the Netlimiter service to propperly hook into the system, you'd need a restart.

If you've restarted and you're still getting this, then thats a bit of a problem.
In that case, restart again and see what happens, maybe try turning off UAC if its on.

Failing that, I don't know. I'm affraid my help on this one is pretty much going to run out at "have you tried turning it off and on again"

edit: this is all assuming the install went smootly, if it didnt, then try an un-install - restart - re-install - restart, or even a rollback to an earlier restore point and try again.

 

[junkie26]

Yes, a FEW restarts solved the problem, and it's running smoothly now without blocking my internet explorer

Thanks for the help!

 

[kojin]

heh, well as long as its all working in the end, I guess we can call it a win

 

[junkie26]

Hm, a new issue has appeared. Netlimiter 2.0.10 starts up perfectly and does not affect any other programs. In fact, it doesn't affect ANYTHING at all, since I cannot control my up and download speed . Nothing happens when I set the limits for my programs...
I'm running only the standard Windows 7 firewall/defender, have'n't installed any other firewall (yet).
I tried to start Netlimiter in "XP compatible mode" and as an administrator, but that didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?

 

[Digger]

the whole problem here is that it (7) wont load the network packet monitoring/Capture driver. I dont know how in the blue world kojin got it to work, installing is not the problem. The only other trick, which I'm 99% still wont make a difference, is to install under safe mode. That way the service wont try to initialize itself on install of. Will have to wait till a reboot. Then at reboot, hit F8 and allow unsigned drivers.

but just as a disclaimer, always do a system restore point before doing any of this. Even installing in any mode, comp, safe or otherwise.

 

[kojin]

hmm, well now you've got me puzzled.

I'm not sure whats going on, but out of interest I just installed it on my laptop (Dell XPS M1530, also running 7100 x64) and met with success again.

It seems to be working just fine on that too. Monitoring, limiting and firewall aspects are all working as expected. Nothing fancy with the install, just put the install .exe in Vista SP2 compatability mode.

Either I'm all of a sudden extremely lucky, or theres some factor I'm overlooking. Though I've got no idea what it might be.

 

[junkie26]

I'm running Windows 7 build 7100 x32 instead of x64, could that be the reason?

this could be a possibility... x86 here as well, for now.
