You may check communication with computer or look up if a host is online by executing a Ping command. Windows does not provide graphical utility to do that, but has a command line tool. This software works just like command line Ping.exe but has a configurable parameters screen and a nice graphical output. You may preset TTL - time to live of the ICMP packet to be sent, the size of the ICMP packet to send, number of Ping requests, host name resolution, packet size. The software can run both using ICMP or WinSock. You may export Ping resulat or print them out right from Network Ping.

Editor review:

Check to see if a determined remote PC is on-line, or assure yourself that the server that supports your website is available and active via this network control tool through Pings: Network Ping.

Windows doesn`t give you a graphic utility to do Ping operations in servers; it only offers you a command line (the obsolete ping.exe). Network Ping is here to fill that gap, letting you know if a determined machine is active and returns the ping, or on the contrary if it has crashed.

Network Ping includes multiple parameters that can be configured directly from the program, and options to personalize the visual exit (the data you see as a result), to export them or print them.
