However, if your router runs proxy ARP or forwards ARP requests and responses, turning this option on may help detect more devices and their MAC addresses. Allow ARP outside current subnet: normally ARP requests are not sent when scanning IP addresses outside the current subnet.Show successful ping method displays the ping method that resulted in receiving a response.Show last scan time shows the time when the host was last scanned.Display inactive devices adds non-responding hosts to the results.Case insensitive sorting ignores case type when results are sorted.Explore shared folders in background: if this option is set, whenever you choose to explore a folder, the Network Scanner launches a separate process of Windows Explorer to avoid temporary unresponsiveness.Ping network and broadcast addresses: when enabled, the scanner tries to ping the first and last IP addresses in a network.Always analyse host forces the scanner to analyse a non-responding host.Attempts: the maximum number of ping requests.Ping timeout: the period to wait for a reply from the remote device.

Can be chosen from ICMP (ping), ARP (arping), or both. A zero run-time sets no limit on thread execution time. If the thread cannot be stopped, it will be forcibly terminated when 2 x the specified time elapses. thread run-time gracefully stops a thread and moves on to a next IP address if it has not finished within the specified time. threads: the maximum number of scanning threads.
