TNT Ping Tool

TNT Ping Tool is a tool you can use to send ping commands to any specified website, in order to test the connectivity strength between your computer and the remote one.

It features only the necessary and suffice options for executing this task, make it accessible not only to users experienced with networking utilities, but also those not familiarized with ping tools.

Pinging remote hosts has a multitude of benefits. For example, you can test the lag time between two PCs when getting ready to host a LAN party, or get an estimate on the transfer speed when attempting to download or upload large files via FTP.

As far as the interface goes, TNT Ping Tool adopts a simple and elegant window with a neatly structured layout, showing all options put at your disposal. You don't have to juggle multiple panels to locate options and perform tasks.

The default website is set to www.nsa.gov and can be exchanged for another one by writing a new link. Although this isn't mentioned anywhere, it's also possible to write the external IP address of the server, instead of its URL.

Once you've initialized the scanning operation, the application starts displaying log details, showing the server's IP address, total bytes sent, along with the response time and TTL (milliseconds).

There are no options implemented for copying, printing or exporting data to file, so you have to manually write it down if you want to compare pings taken at different times. On top of that, the tool doesn't integrate options for changing the delay between pings or for automatically breaking the packet transfer. Instead, it has to be manually stopped. The screen doesn't clear between different pings either.

The entire program's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be saved to a preferred directory on the disk or copied to a USB flash drive, in order to run it on any PC.

Just keep in mind that .NET Framework must be installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform. The app doesn't update the system registry with new entries, nor does it create files on the disk without letting you know about it. In order to uninstall it, you just have to delete this file.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, and system resources consumption was minimal. Thanks to its straightforward interface and options, TNT Ping Tool can be used by anyone looking for a basic ping utility.
