--> All the new features in version 4.2
PingTool runs on Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 (32 or 64 bit) and Windows Server 2008 / 2012 / 2016 / 2019 / 2022. It requires .NET-Framework 4.
PingTool gives you the ability to check if devices answer on certain TCP ports. You can achieve this by specifying a TCP port number in the properties of the object or by using the PortCheck command line tool.
The TCP PortCheck tool is integrated in PingTool and enables very
convenient port monitoring in real-time.
You can check single or multiple objects on a single or multiple TCP ports.
Port check on "important ports" or on more than 1000 known TCP ports can be done with one click. You can configure yourself which port numbers are "important" for you. You can then use this selection again and again.
The results are displayed continuously in real time. The results can also be written to a log file.
With the network speed test, it is possible to measure the network bandwidth between your own computer and a network drive at any time. The destination can be a UNC path or a path with a drive letter.
It takes only a few seconds to perform a single speed test. The result is displayed in Mbps (megabits per second). More information about the network speed test...
PingTool can wake up computers in your network via Wake-On-Lan (Magic Packet). Simply open the context menu with the right mouse button and click on “Wake up computers (Wake-On-Lan)...” to wake up the selected objects. To prepare your computer and your network for Wake-On-Lan, please read this article: Wake-On-Lan Windows 11, which explains in 8 steps what to do - even if the PC to be woken up is in a different subnet. Read more about PingTool, the Wake-on-Lan tool.
PingTool is not open source software, but free of charge - for private and professional use. Thousands of administrators worldwide already use PingTool as their standard tool.
Ping with timestamp to a file is possible with extended logging. This allows you to create a logfile over a longer period of time (overnight / several days). All status changes (responding / not responding) are logged to a file by default for later examination.
There are extensive improvements, e.g. TCP PortCheck integrated in the GUI, E-mail notification, Real-time log, Dashboard. For a complete list please click here.
