Program Similar to Wallwatcher

[Trooper]

Hi folks,

I know that recently Wallwatcher has stopped development etc. I was wondering if there are any programs out there that are similar? Hopefully one that works with my new Netgear WNDR3700 router.

Thanks.

I have yet to find anything that competes with WallWatcher, providing your router is compliant. I searched for a replacement about a year ago, but did not find a worthy successor.

Not quite sure what you're looking for exactly (darn, I'm getting old....)

Maybe LinkLogger?
http://www.linklogger.com/
Blake (developper of LinkLogger) is a very active and highly respected member at DSLR, for example at DSLR-Security:

You might also have a look at the DSLR forum "Hardware By Brand":

Maybe something from KIWI:

PS:
Wouldn't it be better to have this in the "Other Firewall section"?
Well, it could be here or there or in other hardware; it can be in all those forum sections, but I for one would prefer it in "other frewalls"'; well of course up to the mods

I've been playing around with Syslog servers for a day or two, currently I'm looking at Powerful Syslog Server for Windows - Syslog Watcher | SnmpSoft Website It's freeware and seems pretty powerful, so far.

Kiwi do offer a freeware version of their Free Kiwi Syslog Server from SolarWinds but I wasn't that keen.

You could also take a look at the offerings found here http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....10&pick_only=0

Installing Cygwin is another option, then you could run something like Running Syslog -NG on Windows - Event and Log Management - Logged There are others.

Did you try this:
http://www.wallwatcher1.com/WWFAQ.html#chooserouter

You can also try test WW with different port settings:

WallWatcher is watching the wrong port. By default, the routers on WW's ROUTER menu use either port 514 (SysLog -- used by most routers) or 162 (SNMPTrap -- used only by Linksys BEF-series routers). When you select your router, WW will set the correct port in most cases. The selected port is displayed on the ROUTER menu. If you haven't selected a router yet, the port may be incorrect. Also, in rare cases, routers use or let you choose non-standard ports, so you may have to override WW's default;

Thank you for all of your help with these ideas and links. Time to start sorting them out and testing!

Cheers.

Anyone else running this with Windows 7 x64? Ive tried but had a lot of install issues. I registered all the OCX files but still no go.
