My LAN Network Scaner

My LAN Network Scaner is a handy and efficient application designed to scan your Local Area Network in order to detect available IP addresses.

It can come in handy for home use, as well as for small offices, being able to deliver LAN information with very little efforts on the user part.

The package it comes wrapped in doesn’t need installation - the program is fully portable, which means it won’t write to the system’s registry and can be launched on any computer from a removable drive, for instance.

In terms of appearance, the program is simple and intuitive, oriented towards a wide array of audiences due to its intuitive approach.

My LAN Network Scaner comes with a few built-in settings, which is not a bad thing, especially that they can be customized to some extent. By default, it is set to scan an IP range that starts from 192.168.1.1 to 198.168.1.255, which is a typical IP set for Linksys routers.

However, you can define a custom list of IP addresses to be scanned using the Options section. The only discomfort is that you cannot specify a range, but you have to paste the all the IPs manually.

Once you press the ‘Start’ button, the program proceeds to analyzing the address and to list details such as host name, roundtrip time and buffer size for the IPs that are allocated. If an address is not available, the search process takes forever, sometimes causing the application to become unresponsive.

Overall, My LAN Network Scaner seems like a good initiative, but needs to be refined in terms of functionality and appearance in order to appeal to the crowds.
