BePing is a software designed to be the ultimate ping tool.

It combines a simple, easy to pick up interface with functionality that allows the user to get more through MultiPing, Whois Lookup and Trace Route technologies.

BePing is designed to cope with the needs of both network administrators and home users. Its popularity stems from its functionality, matching that of commercial products. BePing is however, completely free.

Here are some key features of "BePing":

· Ping Address for Domains or IP's - The address for pinging can be entered as either an IP or the domain name equivilent IP Translation
· If you enter a domain name to ping, BePing will translate this into its official IP address and vice versa. You may want to do this as a function in its own right from time to time.
· MultiPing - By just selecting the number of Pings you require to make from a drop-down, you can get BePing to report on multiple pings. This is particularly useful when you want to establish the average speed of access to a server. One ping is never a good representation.
· Customisable Data to Ping - BePing allows you to both change the data sent during a ping and specify the size of data sent. As standard Windows sends 32 bytes but with BePing you can send a customised amount for better analysis.
· Report of MultiPings - After any MultiPing BePing will produce a small report that can be easily copy-pasted into emails etc... If you close this report don't panic! BePing allows you to reaccess the last report of the session by clicking "View Report" on the front page.
· Whois Lookup - Find out who owns a domain name. This feature also allows you to lookup the email addresses for reporting abusive emails from the domain and hacks.
· Trace Route - Just like tracert in DOS this feature allows the tracing of the servers along the route between you and the server named. Use this function to identify the ISP of a hacker.
· Update Lookup Server List - Keep your server list up-to-date online so you have the best list for Whois Lookups.
