The PCS Network Tools is a collection of essential network diagnostic tools. These tools include DNS resolution including Alias, Mailhost, and DNS Servers used, IP Scanner, Traceroute, Ping, Whois, Finger, Time, Quote of the Day, and Local host information. Local information includes the hostname, alias, IP address, MAC address, username, Primary Domain Controller, memory, windows version and build, and other vital inforamtion. An easy-to-use toolbar allows quick switching between tools. To minimize typing, the Hostnames and IP Addresses entered in any tool are added to a history list that can be reused in any other tool in the suite. The output from all of the tools in the suite can be saved to a text file for printing, diagnosis, or future reference. An extensive help file is included that provides an overview of network diagnosis and fully documents each utility and its use. This utility provides all of the most popular network utilities in one easy-to-use and integrated suite!
Our Review: I have a feeling that software developers aren't a very creative bunch on a whole, as it seems that they all seem to have this idea in thier heads that no-one else has made a suite of all the popular networking tools (traceroute, ping, whois, finger etc.), when in fact THERE ARE HEAPS! Not to take anything away from PCS Network tools of course. It does all of the standard network things fine, but it doesn't have anything that makes it stand out from the crowd.
