Network Diagnostic Tool

Network Diagnostic Tool is an efficient and reliable piece of software created by Microsoft specifically for systems running under Windows XP, as a means of helping you determine what are the possible network issues that prevent you from using your computer to the fullest.
The installation process has a fairly moderate duration, but after that you may need to restart your PC in order for the changes to take effect. You will then be able to launch it from the ‘Help and Support Center’ or the ‘Control Panel’.
Bear in mind that it is recommended to use this application with the support of a professional, so as to reduce the risk of something going wrong.
With Network Diagnostic Tool, you can quickly identify the problems you may be having, which sometimes occur with home computers that are connected to the web via cable or DSL modems.
The utility analyzes your system and performs a wide range of tests to determine the cause of your connectivity issues by investigating all your network-related services and programs, looking into your IP configuration and default gateway, but it will also test out the DNS, Winsock and Firewall.
Moreover, Network Diagnostic Tool can also run an Internet connection validation test, in the interest of discovering the underlying problems and gathering all the information you may need with a minimal level of effort for you.
The program will assist you during the troubleshoot operation, enabling you to save significant amounts of time by sparing you from having to find the causes of your network problems by yourself.
