Query Application wraps up all of the Internet technical information tools most technical-oriented users will ever need into a single clean-looking (and free) utility. Host To IP converts a hostname to an IP address. IP To Host does the reverse. Whois gets details on domain names. Use Finger to obtain information about all users on a network host. EQ lets you retrieve recent Earthquake information using Finger. Push the HTML button to view full header information and page data from a Web server. The FTP control queries a FTP server and shows root directories and files. Other features let you obtain the precise time from a remote time server and synchronize your system clock; verify a host for available network services; confirm connectivity to a particular device on the network; show the list of gateways between your computer and a particular device; launch the Windows IP configuration utility; and obtain information about current Internet connections. Query Application Modems dialog box gives you information about installed modems, lets you send AT commands, and can detect incoming calls.
Our Review: For the network geeks out there who want to know just exactly what's up with their network and why it isn't working, you need Query Application! It's packed full of all those useful applications like PING, WHOIS, Traceroute etc. that lets you find out if your network is going and where the problems are. Query Application also comes with an internet time synchronisation tool so you can keep your clock up to date. It's easy to use and the interface is nice enough, with nothing spectacular about it. I did have some problems accessing machines outside our LAN. Good!
