Greetings,
I'm trying to do an active tcp open port query using the netinquiry module to test for hp printers on port 9100. I have a MAC rule looking for Hewlett which works fine (50%), but the active TCP Port rule isn't. I am certain that there are printers on the /16 network I've defined, and I test connected to a printer on port 9100.
I've attached a word doc with screen captures of my configuration.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi, I think you may be running into a documented issue with 2.1.8-37. Based on the presence of the "Ping Sweep" option in the NetInquiry module config in the screen shot. That option was removed in the -38 release of Profiler, and an issue with active inquiries on /16 networks was corrected.
I think upgrading to -38 will resolve your issue.
One other important point to consider with such a large range of host addresses for active data collection: This will result in the Collector with NetInquiry configured communicating with the hosts in that range (all 65K plus of them if my math is correct) at the frequency you have set in the Server module config.
You may want to consider scoping the active profiling a bit, and tightening your Network Blocks in the NetInquiry module config.

Thanks for the reply!
I did narrow the range, and deslected the ping option, and the profile works.
I should know better, and should have checked the release notes!
Cheers,
Greg
