Test communication with remote computer and check its online status over theInternet with free visual Ping tool for Windows.
What did your mom do when you got sick as a kid? Most probably the first thing shedid was giving you a thermometer to check your body heat. If you are trying toaccess a remote computer and are not getting a response, chances are that computeris not functioning properly. In other words, it might be sick. But how would yougive a thermometer to that PC?
There is a free tool called ping.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. Youcan use this tool to poke the remote PC and check its response. To use ping.exe, youwould typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, andtype ping.exe followed with IP address of the computer you want to check. Usuallyyou would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. Youwould judge or, rather, guess, - the remote computer s health by the crypticnumbers printed as decimal integers. If the remote computer is not available, or ifthe network is not available, or if some link or a piece of hardware in between youand the remote PC has failed, you ll get nothing. It is up to you to guess what andwhere have failed.
SI Ping designed by Software Institute http://www.softinstitute.com/ , on the otherhand, gives clearly legible and well formatted output by providing easy tounderstand and well explained numbers. It displays all the vital information, suchas time to access the remote computer, in milliseconds, and allows you to ping morethan one computer by simply selecting their address from a combo box. Thanks to itsuser-friendly, convenient user interface, SI Ping is much more convenient to usethan the Windows ping.exe, being a great free replacement for the old-fashionedconsole-based tool.
