Can you post the exact before & after contents of the SpecialFlags= lines? I'm pretty sure what I told you is correct (I checked the source code to WUG, and also tried it out manually). I think what you did is edit one digit to the right of the one I pointed out. To clarify, the digit you want is the fourth one after the "x". If you changed the FIFTH one after the "x" to 2, it would in fact have the effect you described. (Also, it would turn logging off for that host). I just tried it again, and these are typical values I get: SpecialFlags=0x00013002 - Poll method Netbios, poll using Hostname SpecialFlags=0x00023002 - Poll method TCP/IP, poll using Hostname SpecialFlags=0x00021002 - Poll method TCP/IP, poll using IP address SpecialFlags=0x00001002 - Poll method ICMP, poll using IP address Note carefully which digits change from one line to the next. Hope that helps. --Tim Farley IPSWITCH > [Device:0x494A2A1C] > DisplayName=FOO > HostName=FOO > IPAddress=000123456789 > HostTypeName=Host > SpecialFlags=0x00013002 > > The digit which is "1" in SpecialFlags above is the one of interest.
