Hello Everyone,

Recently I have been using a handy tool to test the network connection on a desktop computer connected to a LAN network.

At work we've had a lot of network drop outs and I found the following web based tool quite handy for testing the connection. It's Java Based so you will need that installed first to use!

It's called Knoppix Web Based Network Diagnostic tool

For Java download click here


"This java applet was developed to test the reliablity and operational status of your desktop computer and network connection. It does this by sending data between your computer and this remote NDT server. These tests will determine: "


"The slowest link in the end-to-end path (Dial-up modem to 10 Gbps Ethernet/OC-192)
The Ethernet duplex setting (full or half);
If congestion is limiting end-to-end throughput.
It can also identify 2 serious error conditions:
Duplex Mismatch
Excessive packet loss due to faulty cables.
A test takes about 20 seconds. Click on "start" to begin"

here is the link http://10.161.3.77:7123/

When I was doing the network tests recently at work I am pretty sure we used this for a while and it worked great

 

Excellent!

I figured I'd have a look on CF for it but couldn't find it on the boards! So... hopefully it will come in handy for anyone else who needs it!

 

good move

 

Nice link UCM, that could come in handy

 

Your Welcome

 

"Network Timeout

The server at 10.161.3.77 is taking too long to respond."

Nice tool! j/k, bro...but it did time out, so I figured I'd rib you a little

To make amends, I'll toss a few tools out too:

Can You See Me
Ajax DNS Tools
Looking Glass
Default Network Passwords

 

Thanks fortch.... I have missed your sarcasm (like a hole in the head)

 

Thanks for posting the tools.... I wonder if we can pin these somewhere on the forum?
