Ping IP addresses, domains, and URLs with an adjustable time interval.
This program is a powerful network utility for system administrators or webmasters to monitor network connection. It periodically pings IP addresses, domains or even URLs with an adjustable time interval. This program analyzes hundreds of ping results and provides detailed reports on each IP/domain; its ping histories will be automaticaly saved into log files which can be printed for further study. This program tells you the geographical location of a specific IP address or domain name, calculates download/upload speed between you and the IP/domain. It can intelligently recongize draw-and-drop of URLs from the web browser or a group of IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.0.255). You can export IP addresses or domains into different groups and reload them in the future. This program has convenient hot-keys and an easy-to-use interface and be run in a manual mode or an automatic mode depending on your needs.
Tells you how fast your connection is, but not how slow.

Summary
I tried it today because my wireless connection was unusually slow and I wanted to see just how slow it was. Utility Ping just gave me a "timed out" reading for all addresses. I opened Command in the start/run menu, and pinged some addresses from there, and got actual readings, even though they were in excess of 1000ms. Then I connected with my dialup connection, and Utility Ping still just gave me "timed out" for everything, even though Command was pinging the same addresses at 200ms.
Why bother paying $20 for this, when I can just run Command for free and get actual results?
