Welcome to the most powerful Windows95/NT ping client on the planet. Ping Thingy has just about every feature available. Packet Sizes, Intervals between sends, Timeouts (ttl) and Hops are all configurable. Ping Thingy can now also be started with command line arguments. Output can be saved and or printed for later use. The interface reports everything that's going on and shows all configuration details as well. A lite lookup tool is also included.   

What the Hell is Ping Thingy for?

Ping Thingy is a network diagnostic tool that verifies connectivity to a particular host on the network.  Ping Thingy sends ICMP Echo requests in the form of a configurable data packet to a remote host, and displays the results for each Echo reply".  In essence, Ping Thingy asks, "Hello host, are you there?", and waits for a response.  

Ping is one of the first and most important tools used for tracking down and diagnosing network problems. 

Start by ping your own computer to see that you are indeed contected to the network, this can be done by pinging 127.0.0.1 or localhost. If this succeeds try pinging your service providers web server or another computer on your lan. Using this technique you should be able to locate any problems with your own network and even pin point problems on networks outside of your control.

A must for any serious surfer or network administrator!
