There are better net tools than Net Tool Box

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />...available from the Mac OS X shell. Net Tool Box's latest release tries to make the process of getting technical network information more approachble to a larger audience. It's an attractive app that puts a decent front end on a number of Unix tools. The network-to-geography maps are now out of date and not getting updated anytime soon - according to the app itself. Unfortunately none of the pre-sales blurbs mention this - instead they actually advertise Net Tool Box using screenshots from this tool when it was working, including the screenshots here at Version Tracker. Too bad. For better IP-to-geo mapping, consider VisualRoute from VisualWare which offers Win, Mac, and Unix versions. Net Tool Box is no Sam Spade for Windows - for better or worse. While it ostensibly provides many of the functions - this is a commercial app - something it reminds you of at every possible opportunity. You launch, you wait for a countdown. You try different features, you have to click past nag boxes, other tools simply crash the app alltogether. The publisher, unfortunately is all-too-happy to accept the money for this product - but not nearly as good about sending out registration codes after payment. Nor does the firm reply to emails. On this basis alone - the app loses any upside by the publisher's extremely poor customer service. Such potential, such a disappointment.
Much Improved!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />When I upgraded to Tiger, Net Tool Box 3.0 broke in a couple of places, notably the Netstat screen, so the new version, with Tiger-driven updates, was much looked for. (I had reverted to 2.5 in the meanwhile) Also, many of the niggly little things, like typos and UI surprises, have been cleaned up. The UI isn't perfect yet (in a number of places I'm forced to click when the Enter key should be able to start things up), but it's better. If you threw up your hands (ew) at 3.0, give 3.1 a whirl.
This isn't shareware.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Net Tool Box looks like it would be a cool application. Unfortunately, thats all that you can really do in the demo period - look at it. I did two lookups, got a dialog box that says its a demo and it would not let me check out any other features. It eventually just quit on me. This is FAR from shareware. Commercial software with a very limited demo.
Works great - people need to get a life

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This apps works as promised, is MORE than you get with the built in tools in OSX. While reporting personal info is bad practice, so is using a non-legal licesnse. it's too easy to find hacked apps, serial numbers etc and a developer should be able to protect themselves against this. If for no other reason than to ban those bogus SNs from use. I'd much rather see this than the activation crap you have to go through with windows now. Charlie, great app. I was happy to spend $30 for it.
VERY annoying timeout

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Seems as if you get 5 minutes of useage before it craps out. I'll be daggoned if I'm going to be continually launching and relaunching it to see how it compares to IPNetMonitor. 1 star and already tossed in the trash.
hmm...

Correcting dishonesty & pointless criticism

Cons
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is to counteract dishonest reviews that criticize the software for things it doesn't do. Think twice before criticizing someone. You can destroy their reputation, and if what you're saying is false, it is essentially verbal terrorism.
The developer just doesn't get it.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />ANY program that phones home, for ANY reason, without the user's knowledge and consent needs to be exposed, publicized and publicly reviled. With spyware, computer co-option and identity theft reaching epidemic proportions the producer of any program that steals information from or about its users needs to be driven out of business as quickly as possible. And with the maximum amount of public opprobrium, so that others dare not follow in their footsteps.
