MyIP Basic

MyIP Basic gathers and displays information related to your network, featuring tools for pinging hosts, as well as for renewing and releasing IP addresses.
This is an application dedicated not only to network administrators and IT specialists, but also to casual users who want to learn more about these details.

Setup, prerequisites, and interface

Installing this app takes minimal time and effort, since there are no unfamiliar options or third-party offers involved. However, you must have .NET Framework, since it was built with the aid of this platform.
As far as the GUI is concerned, MyIP Basic opts for a simple and attractive window with a ribbon bar and neatly organized structure. It's possible to look up IP addresses or host names in your local network, and find out the IP address of any website you specify.

View IP details and ping hosts

Furthermore, you can scan the network to discover your Windows IP configuration (host name, primary DNS suffix, node type, IP routing and WINS proxy enabled), Ethernet adapter local area connection (e.g. description, physical address, DHCP and auto-configuration enabled, IPv4 address, subnet mask, lease obtained), tunnel adapter (e.g. media state, connection-specific DNS suffix, description, physical address, DHCP and auto-configuration enabled), and other such data.
When it comes to IP utilities, it's possible to release and renew IP addresses, as well as to ping any IP address or website in just a few steps. These actions are performed by the program, so user intervention is minimal. Worth mentioning is that network information can be printed or saved to plain text documents for closer inspection.

Evaluation and conclusion

It scanned the network swiftly in our tests while remaining light on system resources consumption, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.
On the other hand, some of its components depend on the developer's website, which is no longer live, making them non-functional. MyIP Basic hasn't received updates for a long time.
