PingAll

PingAll is a straightforward console application that has a very simple purpose. It facilitates simple commands for pinging multiple IP addresses in a given range, in order to check the connectivity between the local machine and multiple remote computers at the same time. For example, you can use it to test the strength between two or more PCs in order to start a multiplayer video game.

There is no setup pack involved, which makes PingAll portable. It means that you can save the executable file to any location on the disk and simply call its process from a Command Prompt dialog.

Another possibility is to move it to a pen drive to directly launch it on any PC effortlessly, without previously installing anything. Worth taking into account is that, unlike most installers, it does not alter the Windows registry settings or create extra files on the HDD, so no traces are left behind after its removal.

The available switches are shown in the console window as soon as PingAll is launched. You can establish the starting IP address, number of hosts, time out, along with the packet size. The scan results will immediately show the response time for each identified IP address, along with the total number of pinged hosts, together with alive and dead connections.

There are no other noteworthy options provided by this piece of software. For example, you cannot ask the app to dump these results to file for closer examination and safekeeping.

The app carries out the IP address scanning jobs swiftly while remaining light on CPU and RAM, as expected, so it doesn't affect the overall performance of the computer. Although it does not integrate rich features, PingAll delivers a fast and simple solution to all users who prefer command-line tools and want to ping multiple IP addresses at once.
