Network Information Center

Network Information Center is a small software application developed specifically for helping you gather information about the network that you are connected to. In order to run the program correctly and avoid bumping into all sorts of issues, you need to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on the target computer.

You can take advantage of the tool’s portability status and drop it on pen drives or other removable devices so you can have it with you all the time. Plus, you may run it without being an administrator. You can also open it directly from the storage device.

It does not leave records in your Windows registry and store other setup items on the host PC so you can get rid of it with a simple deletion action of the EXE file that you have grabbed from the Internet. It’s easy to access its GUI because you do not have to go through a configuration process. A double-click on the executable file is sufficient.

Network Information Center boasts a straightforward design that packs all configuration settings in a single window. You cannot find a help manual embedded in the package. However, you can quickly get an idea about how to tweak the dedicated parameters because they look easy to work with.

The application offers you the possibility to find out your current external and internal IP addresses, default gateway, as well as physical address (MAC address). Plus, you are allowed to copy the aforementioned details to the clipboard so you can quickly paste them in other windows.

Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to refresh network data displayed in the primary panel with a single click, automatically show the network information when you open the program, ping an IP address or website, run the utility at Windows startup and open it minimized, automatically refresh data at a certain number of minutes, and make the main window remain on top of other panels.

To sum things up, Network Information Center provides a simple and intuitive software solution for helping you get info about your network and copy data to the clipboard. It can be tweaked by less experienced users and professionals alike.
