1432.0. "Probewatch Questions" by STRWRS::KOCH_P (It never hurts to ask...) Thu Sep 15 1994 15:27

     I have a problem with Probewatch for Windows. Even thought I've spoken
    with Colorado support, I don't know if I got my question answered. I
    don't have access to the software until Monday, but hopefully someone
    can respond to these questions beforehand since they also includes
    questions on HOW the product works.
    
    1.) I need to find out how to automatically translate MAC addresses to
    actual text strings. These MAC addresses aren't running TCP/IP, so they
    don't have an IP address. However, I can't find in the documentation
    how to auto-translate the MAC address to an intelligible text string.
    
    2.) When I do a refresh for the conversation screen when the cursor is
    on the screen, it doesn't become a hourglass indicating that work is
    going on. This seems counterintuitive to the way normal Windows
    applications work.
    
    3.) If I can't do #1, why can't the list be exported? At least if I
    could export, I could run it thru another application to auto-translate
    the MAC addresses to the node name text string.
