BATIP

BATIP is a free TCP/IP monitor that enables you to view the properties of your network adapters, statistics with sent and received packets, connections, and host-related information. It features straightforward options for network administrators.

It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface represented by a normal window split into four tabs, where you can separately study details about your network adapters, network statistics, connections, and host.

Network card info includes the adapter type and MAC address, IP address and subnet mask, default gateway, whether or not DHCP and WINS are enabled, DHCP server, lease obtained and expiration date, along with the primary and secondary WINS server. The preferred network adapter can be selected from a drop-down menu on the bottom.

When it comes to network statistics, it's possible to adjust the checkup frequency, as well as to view the network speed and MTU. A graph can be displayed for data, Unicast and non-Unicast packets. Plus, you can find out the amount of sent and received data, Unicast and non-Unicast packets, together with discards, errors, and average data per second.

As far as connections are concerned, BATIP shows the local and remote IP address, country of origin, status (e.g. established, time wait, listen), along with the connection type (TCP or UDP). Only TCP and established connections can be shown, and you can adjust the checkup frequency.

Lastly, host information reveals the host name, domain, DNS servers, node type and DHCP scope ID, as well as whether or not IP routing, WINS proxy are enabled, and if NetBIOS uses DNS or not.

To sum it up, BATIP facilitates a user-friendly interface for examining important network information. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal in our tests.
