Ping Test Easy – automate network ping commnad

http://www.pingeasy.com/pingeasy.htm

BKPR5-VF2B7-PLMKJ

If you're feeling techie, perhaps it's time to give Ping Test Easy a try. This freebie automates use and configuration of the network ping command, which tests whether a particular computer, server, or Web site is connected to the Internet and working. The command also provides other information, such as how long the site took to respond to you and how many packets were lost en route.

Without Ping Test Easy, issuing a ping command involves just going to a command prompt, typing ping, and pressing <Enter>. So why would you need this program? In the first place, it maintains a list of sites that you either have pinged or want to ping.

In addition, it lets you configure ping in many different ways–by changing the amount of data sent via ping, for example, or the ping interval. And if you need a record for some reason, it will save your results to a log file.

Will this software change your life? Certainly not. But it does simplify a monotonous task, and it's free. In my book, that makes it a bargain.
