Thumbs up [APP] [11-MAY-2009] PingBox2 Full&Lite

Hello everyone!

This tool is useful for determining the status of the network and various foreign hosts, tracking and isolating hardware and software problems, and testing, measuring, and managing networks. Want to stay online while you chatting, downloading etc. without your phone going in power safe mode, which will disconnect your network? No problem, just hit <Follow> key and you are set to go!

Features (Full version):
- Ping destination host and take back statistics about it
- ARP scans entire network of every connected network adapter on your device
- Mass Ping entire network or just part of it
- WhoIs domain name or IP address
- Trace is used to determine the route taken by packets across an IPv4 networks
- Following destination host by scheduled check. This also will sound an alarm when/if the connection is lost or found (depend of your settings)
- And of course, everything is customizable

In progress (Full version):
- Wake on LAN

No offense at all, but I didn't knew that someone will ask what is ping and when/why I should use it when I post this treat here in Development and Hacking.

The ping command is useful for determining the status of the network and various foreign hosts, tracking and isolating hardware and software problems, and testing, measuring, and managing networks.

Anyway, feel free to click on next links for more useful information about ping and what it looks like
