The latest version 5.4.1.863/864 of IPCheck Server Monitor includes four minor bugfixes (support for 64bit WMI sensors, among others) as well as an optimized dump of monitoring data to the disk (makes sure that even for installations with many sensors the sensor intervals are not delayed by data dumping). Find out more about the other changes in the IPCheck version history.
We recently had a customer who after having experienced multiple crashes while running PRTG under Windows Vista 64-Bit updated to version 6.2.0.907 only to notice that PRTG did not even start up properly but was crashing while in the process. Basically, his experience was that upon starting PRTG the “Loading…” screen would show up for a couple of seconds and the program would crash almost immediately, triggering the typical “solution search” window well known to Vista users.
In order to avoid installation and configuration issues, it is generally better to install PRTG and IPCheck directly on the host server, seeing as certain system pop-ups are not properly carried forward when connecting to the server via a RDP session.

From the 4th to the 9th of March 2008 we will present the newest trends in network monitoring at the world’s biggest trade show for information and communication technologies, CeBIT Fair in Hannover, Germany.
CeBIT 2007 last year was a successful event for us and we met a lot of customers and partners. This year you will find our all-new stand in hall 3, E38. Come along and be informed about exciting new releases from Paessler AG!
We have published a new release of version of PRTG Traffic Grapher. For V6.2 our developers have recently worked on PRTG’s SNMP engine and optimized it heavily. It can now query more SNMP values in less time and with less network load. Especially for installations with some hundred sensors or more (and for installations with small intervals, e.g. below 10 seconds) this new version requires less CPU load and causes less network traffic while showing better performance.
Learn more about this new version in the version history or visit the download page.
You do not need a Windows based computer (and a Windows license) to use most of PRTG’s features. You can also run PRTG Traffic Grapher 6.x on Linux. Using the “Wine Library” (which emulates Windows system calls) you can run PRTG like most other Windows apps on Linux systems. Of course some hardware/driver-based features like Packet Sniffing do not work.
