Simple Network Tester

Simple Network Tester is a Java-based application that enables you to send the ping command to other computers in your local network, in order to test the connectivity strength between the machines. It comes in handy when preparing for a LAN party, for example.

Wrapped up in a user-friendly interface made from a large window with a straightforward appearance, the program invites you to ping as many hosts as you want by expanding the main window for each new ping.

It's possible to set the host address and click a button to start pinging it, pause, cancel or reset the task. Statistics can be analyzed when it comes to the successful, unsuccessful and total pings, average successful and total ping latency, along with the average deviation in successful ping duration.

Unfortunately, there are no options implemented for controlling all pings for all hosts at the same time.

As long as you have Java installed on your workstation, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the downloaded .jar file to a preferred directory on the disk or to a removable storage unit, and simply double-click it to launch the program on any PC with Java.

It doesn't modify system registry settings or create files on the HDD without your permission. In order to remove it, you simply have to delete the executable .jar file.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software utility didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system performance, using low CPU and RAM.

To sum it up, Simple Network Tester facilitates an approachable interface and settings for pinging multiple computers at the same time.
