Detailed scan results: Analyzing scanned target computer details

Screenshot 49 – Computer’s node

Click on the Computer sub-node to access particular details about the scanned target computer including:

•	‘MAC:’ – Shows the MAC address of the network card that the target computer is using to connect to the network.

•

‘Time To Live (TTL):’ – Shows the maximum number of network hops allowed before a data packet expires/is discarded. Based on this value, you can identify the distance (i.e. the number of router hops) between the computer running GFI LANguard N.S.S. and the target computer that was just scanned. Typical TTL values include 32, 64, 128, and 255.

•	‘Network Role:’ – Denotes whether the scanned target computer is a workstation or a server.

•	‘Domain:’ – Denotes the domain/workgroup details. When scanning targets which are part of a domain, this field shows the list of trusted domain(s). If the scanned target computer is not part of a domain, this field will show the name of the respective Workgroup.

•	‘LAN Manager:’ – Shows the type of operating system and LAN Manager in use (for example, Windows 2000 LAN Manager).

•	‘Language:’ – Shows the language setting configured on the scanned target computer (for example, English).
