When you install a network or start to work in the Internet or
your intranet, it becomes clear to find monitoring and
management software ASAP. Why? Because of possible delays or
bottlenecks of Internet traffic. The number of applications is a
blessing, given the fact that every company and every sysadmin
have different needs, which would make a one-size-fits-all
approach difficult to implement.
Most network software comes with some level of monitoring and
management capability, but often IT departments appreciate being
able to choose different features. Here is a rescue wand -
NetInfo. This multifunctional application analyzes your
connection and various aspects of the Internet in order to
isolate potential pitfalls. Once it determines where the problem
lies, NetInfo provides you with a whole slew of tools that help
you solve it. If the problem lies beyond your realm of control
and you don't know whom to contact about it, NetInfo will give
you a name, e-mail address and phone number. Instead of
gathering the information about a host and the Internet route to
it manually, you just enter a hostname and click Start. NetInfo
does the rest for you. By the way, it allows finding spammers,
tracing hackers, hunting mailers and porno promoters.
There are some key features of the program:
* Allows to you quickly verify network connectivity to another
IP address on the network * Displays a list of routers between
your system and the destination system * Displays information
about users currently logged on to a specified server * Scans
host names for a particular range of IP addresses and displays
the state of each address * Lists the available network services
- HTTP, Telnet, DNS, SMTP, etc. - for a particular host * Multi
platform: one installation runs on Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
Server 2003 * Developed in C++ for maximum efficiency
If your website, a client's site, a mail server or some other
Internet point is having trouble, it's up to NetInfo tools to
fix it. You've never been in as much control of your and your
clients' Internet experience as when you own NetInfo. It becomes
possible to retrieve and debug an HTML for a specific page on
the Web. Each module in this integrated set of Internet tools is
a superbly fast and visual aid to any user of the Internet, and
Intranet, or a home network center.
