can you ping those devices from the windows command line?

start -> run -> cmd - > ping 1.1.1.1 (the address)

can i add some service which isn't on the list?

Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:54 am

Dear Normis,
thanks for your response.
i think you miss understoud my question,
i don't want to monitor the services which is on the list, i want to monitor some specific service on my server.
i have some services on my server and its very important for me to be sure the services are working properly.
thanks for your helps.

Yes, you can add custom probes and then use them to make new services:

Lot of information in the Dude manual:

Am also experiencing the same problem and am using Dude 3.6 in windows 7, Ping wont work as one of my services keeps on giving an error reading - Local problem. Does anyone have a way around this?

You must run the dude from an account with admin privileges... is that your trouble?

I am experiencing the same problem with 4.0beta2.
Every "ping" is failing, with the cryptic message "local problem". However, command line ping works fine.

I installed the 4.0beta2 on a system that has not had The Dude - running Windows Server 2008R2.
I imported the settings from 3.6 on a different system (though I don't think that is relevant).

The following shows The Dude error:
ping - local problem.jpg
The following shows command line ping (to the same device) working:
cmd ping - works.jpg
Just to be clear:
- the account has admin privileges.
- the problem occurs even with the Windows Firewall turned off.
- a protocol trace shows that no ICMP messages are emanating from the server, *except* when command line ping is used.

I cannot find any explanation for the error "local problem" and thus I have no idea how to fix the problem.

I tried an additional experiment (in case my problem was something to do with security in Windows Server 2008 R2). I installed 4.0beta2 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine - and I got the same behavior, notably that the ping service fails with "local error".

As a consequence of this behavior, it also means that network discovery is not able to discover anything.

Try disabling UAC? if you have "local error"...

Did something change in your systems? Maybe windows update? It worked fine before for everyone. Local error means Dude couldn't run ping command due to a program error, or some other unknown factor.

In my case, I'm trying 4.0beta2 on two different systems (Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7) that have not been used to run The Dude before.

I can confirm that turning off UAC on Windows 7 (SP1) running 4.0beta2 gets rid of the "local error" problem, and now The Dude is able to discover devices on the network.

While this was a good check to determine the probable cause of the problem, like "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut" this does not represent a viable workaround. To have production servers, capable of managing a network with lower security increases the potential risk that malware could be introduced (and rapidly spread) through the network via this "Trojan horse".

Now we understand what the problem is, does this represent:
- a bug in The Dude that needs to be fixed, and/or
- the need for additional instructions to explain how to make The Dude work (without disabling security)?

I may have answered my own question. There is an alternative to disabling UAC completely.

If I locate the executable (c:\Program Files (x86)\Dude\dude.exe),
right mouse
select Properties
click on the Compatibility tab
then check the "Run this program as an administrator"
once I restart The Dude (client and server - perhaps after a reboot?) it is able to Ping devices without getting "Local Error" any more

Francistito >>> It doesnt work i still cant ping

Have you set your firewall rules to all The Dude to be able to send and receive packets without being blocked?

You might try, for example, adding a new firewall rule to allow The Dude's executable (c:\Program Files (x86)\Dude\dude.exe) to "allow the connection".

ICMP echo-reply (ping) is blocked in and out in Windows7

Tue Mar 29, 2011 2:59 pm

Windows 7 firewall standard blocks ICMP ping inbound and outbound. By default you cannot ping from and cannot ping to a Windows 7 machine.

I had to disable UAC and allow ping (ICMP echo-reply) inbound and outbound till the Dude worked well.

Network and Sharing Center > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings

Under Inbound Rules: "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)"
and under outbound Rules: "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-Out)"

Enable for all Network Profiles that you use with the Dude (Private/Public/Domain)

Success

so disabling UAC on my windows 2012 R2 VM fixed the ping issue...

I was seeing the same thing where I could ping from cmd prompt, but not from "the dude"

after disabling UAC "the dude" can ping everything now.
:shock:

I disabled UAC.

But now my Dude has lost all settings. No maps/devices/user etc.

Where do I need to find and put these to restore it?
