MyLanViewer claims to be able to control our shared folders, but I see no such power or tools inside the program – we have to exit and manually find Microsoft Windows Computer Management, Shared Folders, Shares, then right-click a share and select, or select, ,, and then follow the – none of that is do-able inside MyLanviewer.Īnd some of MyLanviewer’s tool windows are not resizable. We cannot sort by a computer’s found ‘friendly’ network name, nor by IP address, nor by device manufacturer ( such as, show all Dells together, show all HPs together ) – alternative FREE Advanced-IP-Scanner can resort the found list of LAN devices by displayed column contents, such as Name, IP, Manufacturer, and so on. It makes no sense to me to have to do and un-do things wherever I go, I expect to open MyLanViewer and see my LAN, right now. I have difficulty getting MyLanviewer to re-scan a new network list when I take my computer to another network or when I change my router or router address, it’s hard to get it to re-scan and trust that it found and is displaying the new network and not just re-displaying history of the old network that I am no longer connected to. MyLanViewer can only save a poorly formatted text file of devices, it does not print well, but it does have a CSV export that nicely imports into a spreadsheet, then we can format for printing, but it only reports physical devices, no network logical shares.Īlternative FREE Advanced-IP-Scanner can immediately save and print the immediately displayed scan results, which is a cleanly-formatted ‘map’ of network devices AND logical shares – I scan and print and pin one on the wall wherever I find a router, any place I go and connect. ![]() – no way to save or export a list of network shares as a text file. – it opens in Microsoft Windows File Explorer, – Application title: ] to Start enumeration To add FREE Teamviewer remote control, first install FREE Teamviewer, then do this inside MyLanViewer: ![]() ![]() We can add a program to MyLanViewer’s internal right-click menu of actions to take when pointing to a computer in the scanned list of computers. I use Mylanviewer to quickly access my other computers in my location via FREE Teamviewer.
