Ping IP

Ping IP is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the possibility to send the ping command to remote computers by host name or IP address, in order to check the connectivity strength between two machines. It may come in handy when you're preparing for a LAN party with your friends, for example, in order to figure out lag time.

Setting up this program takes minimal time and effort, since there are no special options, mandatory software products, or third-party components involved.

When it comes to the interface, Ping IP opts for a small window with a rudimentary design, which makes it look like an outdated or unfinished software project. It reveals all options put at your disposal, giving you an overview before diving into the configuration properties.

You can type or paste the IP address or domain name of a website, specify the ping frequency in seconds (minimum is 10 seconds), as well as optionally ask the tool to write a message on task failure. Ping statistics are displayed in this window and include the start and roundtrip time.

The task can be canceled only manually, since there is no option implemented for automatically halting ping signals after a specific amount of time has passed.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software utility didn't freeze, crash or indicate errors. It left a small footprint on system resources, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM.

On the other hand, Ping IP failed on multiple occasions to successfully send pings. We are also keeping in mind that it hasn't received updates for a pretty long time. It's geared toward all types of users, even those less experienced with networking tools.
