[2008] IP Network Utility

[dbasnett]

First of all I am not sure if I should post this here or in another Forum, but that is why the moderators get paid the big bucks. I posted it here because I am writing it in VBX2008.

I am writing, actually re-writing, an IP Network Utility. The purpose of this is to bring together some common network utilities.

So far I have
*ping
*trace route
*range (look for ip's on a network)
*monitor - i use this to see when my internet connection goes down. my isp loves it.
*ip addressing - nets, masks, hosts/net, CIDR
*info - general PC and network information

Next up is performance. In the old version it was capable of 200Mbps(100Mbps FDX).

So, what am I missing?

General Dev is better suited.

And by the way we dont get paid

Is Default Gateway information included in what you have already?

(BTW: When you are done, do you plan on sharing the source in our codebank?)

[dbasnett]

just default gw? or whole routing table?

[Hack]

I was thinking just the default gateway, but, if the entire routing table isn't a big deal, then why not include it.

[dbasnett]

What about functions?

here is what i have for general info so far

[Hack]

What you have now looks good to me. Since you were asking for other things, I thought I'd through out the gateway thing, but it would appear you already have the important things covered.

[dbasnett]

What about functionality? Like DHCP Release / Renew?

I am working on getting the DNS resolves not to hang up the application when the DNS server is down or more likely can't be reached. It is almost done.
