Magic NetTrace is a useful and easy-to-use versatile program which combines ping, WHOIS and traceroute functions into one friendly GUI utility.

Using this tool you can identify the source of Internet connectivity problems, track down the source of junk mail, find out a geographic location of a web server or your ICQ buddy, troubleshoot e-mail problems and more.

Multithreaded architecture makes the program extremely fast and tight integration with Internet Explorer enables users to perform traceroute and WHOIS lookup with a single mouse click.

Other Magic NetTrace's features include easy network and domain WHOIS lookup for all hosts passed by your packets; ability to perform WHOIS query via web interface if the registrar who supports the particular domain hasn't a WHOIS server; printing the lookup results, copying them to the clipboard or saving as a file and support for multiple interface languages.

Here are some key features of "Magic NetTrace":

· Unlike most other utilities, Magic NetTrace uses multithreading to track all routes between hosts at the same time. So it wastes no time waiting for a host reply before sending a request to another host.
· Easy network IP Address Lookup and domain WHOIS lookup for all hosts passed by your packets.
· Ability to perform WHOIS query via web interface if the registrar who supports the particular domain hasn't a WHOIS server.
· Tight integration with Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. Pressing the Magic NetTrace button in the Internet Explorer toolbar starts the program and runs a traceroute to the current address (the one displayed in the Internet Explorer address bar).
· Ability to resolve the IP address of an ICQ contact and track this person's real-world location.
· Printing the lookup results, copying them to the clipboard or saving as a file.
· Multilingual interface. Now supported Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Russian.
· Works with all versions of Windows including Windows XP!
