Description
PingInfoView is a small utility that allows you to easily ping multiple
host names and IP addresses, and
watch the result in one table.
It automatically ping to all hosts every number of seconds that you
specify, and displays the number of succeed and failed pings, as well
as the average ping time.
You can also save the ping result into text/html/xml file, or copy it to
the clipboard.
Using PingInfoView
PingInfoView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files.
In order to start using it, simply run the executable file (PingInfoView.exe), type the host names and IP addresses that
you want to ping, and click the 'Ok' button to start pinging.
Known Issues
- Some people reported that PingInfoView stop pinging after a few
hours of continuous work.
I tested PingInfoView in multiple computers, and until now I couldn't
find a way to reproduce the problem on my own computers.
I also tried to locate memory or opened handles leaks that might cause
this kind of problem, but until now I couldn't find any leak.
This problem is a mystery, and I'm still looking for solution.
