Pinger

Pinger is a network utility that enables users to monitor remote computers or devices connected to their local network. It pings IP addresses from a Windows command window.

The application does not have any special hardware or software requirements. It only needs an Internet connection in order to run. The installation process is straightforward; the executable file must be decompressed from the RAR file.

The interface is bleak and unappealing. Users can add values to three individual fields, each modifying a different parameter of the pinging process.

Pinger enables users to ping IP addresses. The application can search a specified IP range, ping each address multiple times and set an individual timeout. After pressing the 'Ping' button, the program opens a command window, in which users can add their gateway and preview the results.

The software is limited in several areas. It does not display subnet or DNS information. It does not display the time for each pinged network computer and cannot modify or save recognized devices.

Pinger is designed to be straightforward, however, it is at the same time restricting. There is little information provided, meaning beginners are going to struggle with it, while experts will not be enthusiastic about the small number of features.

To sum up, this software is a network utility that provides some features. It is free to use, but this fact does not make it more appealing. Pinger does not allow recognized devices to be edited, nor does it display subnet or DNS information, thus greatly limiting its functionality.
