Network Ping

Before establishing a remote connection with another computer, it is advisable to find out whether the two machines have a strong connection or not by executing the Ping command.
Network Ping is a tool dedicated for this exact task, enabling users to ping a website by entering its IP address or domain name. It comes packed with just a few intuitive settings that should be easy to figure out by intermediate and advanced users.

Hassle-free installation and classical-looking interface

Network Ping is set up very quick, an operation that shouldn't impose any difficulties. Its interface does not include visually appealing elements, yet it is simple to navigate.

Look up host addresses and print or export data

Once the IP address or domain name is typed, Network Ping will look up the host with the click of a button, displaying the request number, exact address and reply time (in milliseconds). This information can be printed or exported to file for closer examination.

Optimize program settings easily

Users may tinker with app options when it comes to resolving addresses to host names, setting a no fragmentation flag in the package and applying raw sockets. What's more, it is possible to indicate the total echo requests to find, timeout in milliseconds to wait, buffer size for sending data requests, time to live and type of service.

Evaluation and conclusion

Our tests have shown that Network Ping is very fast at scanning IP addresses. It executed commands rapidly and had minimal impact on PC performance, running on low CPU and RAM. It did not hang, crash or pop up error messages.
On the other hand, other applications with similar functionality are free, while Network Ping is pretty expensive. Users are welcomed to test Network Ping for themselves to find out if it's worth the money.
