Get Ping, Traceroute, IP Lookup, regular Whois and Referral Whois tools in a single convenient package! SI Network Mechanics offers great ergonomics, quick keyboard operation and clean printable output.
Test communication with remote computer and check its online status over the Internet with Ping. Determine which route the packets travel across an IP network between your PC and the remote host with Traceroute. Get information about the owner or the assignee of an IP address with IP Lookup. The IP Lookup unveils details about the company that uses an IP address you are investigating.
A unique Referral Whois algorithm implemented in SI Network Mechanics provides complete information about the owner of any domain name, up to the level of mailing addresses and telephone numbers. The growth of the Internet makes a single central WHOIS database inefficient to store and manage information about the domain names. The deregulation and decentralization of the Internet domain registry required a new, decentralized approach to storing and retrieving domain information.
SI Network Mechanics implements RWhois (Referral Whois) to accurately retrieve information about the owner of a domain name. Where a regular Whois tool would provide scarce information at best, SI Network Mechanics discloses full details about the owner of the domain name.
The regularly updated online configuration database keeps information about domain name extensions and their respective NICs up-to-date.
The clean and simple user interface makes SI Network Mechanics a joy to use. The ergonomics are carefully thought of, and every action is easily possible with quick keyboard shortcuts. The output is HTML-formatted and is easy to print or to export.

VisualRoute combines the tools Traceroute, Ping, and Whois into an easy-to-use graphical interface that analyzes Internet connections to quickly locate where an outage or slowdown occurs. In addition, VisualRoute identifies the geographical location of IP addresses and Web servers on a global map--key information for security purposes to help identify network intruders and Internet abusers.
Several new edition options provide advanced tracing options, such as reverse tracing and remote tracing via a web browser, port testing and application availability testing. A new report graph displays an instant picture of connection performance, tabbed display enables views of multiple test reports.
The ping capabilities provide a good idea of whether or not the site is live, while traceroute will help determine where along the route the problem lies. VisualRoute`s traceroute provides three types of data: an overall analysis, a data table, and a geographical view of the routing. The analysis is a brief description of the number of hops, where problems occurred, and the type of Web server software running at the site you are trying to reach. The data table lists information for each hop, including the IP address, node name, geographical location and the major Internet backbone where each server resides. The World map gives a graphical representation of the actual path of an Internet connection. Users can zoom in/out and move the map around to position it as desired. A mouse click on a server or network name opens a pop-up Whois window, providing instant contact information for problem reporting.

This is a Windows based tracert/traceroute software to display path that network packets take when travelling across the networks. Excellent tool for network troubleshooting, this utility incorporates the functionality of well known tracert and traceroute command line utilities and presents the trace information with a Windows based interface. You may print the results of the trace or save them for later research. Various network trace parameters such as number of pings, hops, host timeout value and DNS addess resolution are configurable in this software.

If you cannot connect to a computer over a network, there might be something wrong with the remote PC or with your Internet connection. Or your router might need a reset. Or your Internet provider could be having a temporarily problem that they`ll eventually solve. Or maybe it`s the fault of one of the routers, switches, access points, servers, or other network hosts that are in between you and the remote computer. How would you know for sure?
In the beginning of the Internet, a tool called traceroute was introduced in Unix. Traceroute does exactly what its name suggests: it traces the route of IP packets while they travel from your PC to the remote destination. The tool essentially allows you to see exactly where the connectivity problem is, no matter how far it is from your computer. The last host to respond to traceroute is the last host that is working properly. The first one that fails to respond is the faulty one.
There is a free tool called tracert.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to traceroute the remote PC. To use tracert.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type tracert.exe followed with the IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You get the response in a Spartan-looking black console window.
While there`s nothing particularly wrong in using the supplied tracert.exe, we at Soft Institute wrapped the same thing into a much more convenient package. SI Trace provides clearly legible, well-formatted output by providing easy to understand numbers and well-explained results. It displays all the vital information from classic Unix traceroute and Windows tracert commands, and allows you to check more than one computer by simply selecting the address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it is much more convenient to use than Windows tracert.

SkICMP ActiveX Control is a lightweight and powerful ICMP (Ping and Traceroute) ActiveX control that can be used for network diagnosing, troubleshooting, and monitoring. SkICMP ActiveX Control can be used from any 32-bit Windows development environment, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Delphi.
It is fully compliant with RFC 792.
SkICMP ActiveX Control is capable of processing multiple Ping and/or multiple Traceroute requests simultaneously.
It is loaded with extra features for software developers. For instance, it allows to store a list of the remote machines to be monitored and can provide real-time information about their availability.
So, if instead of making a call to instantiate a remote object, the component should call SkICMP ActiveX Control first and get back the host address, or IP address, of the first available remote machine, and than try to access it.
This list can be maintained from the application itself, so the software developer doesn`t need to do anything one that list is reconfigured. SkICMP ActiveX Control comes with complete documentation, sample code, and working demo programs.
