“Applications to administer your network”

by Nick Mead

PacketTrap DNS Audit brings together a collection of interface tools to facilitate network administration.

Specifically, it includes a graphical application for the PING command that verifies whether a server is active, scans ports, MAC addresses and SMPT/TFTP servers plus a tool to calculate the packets routed through different networks. There is a handy WHOIS tool for exploring the data for each domain and a utility to set a WOL (Wake On Lan) configuration. In addition, it features a useful desk with Widgets that allow you to customise your working environment with things like clocks, weather reports etc. This is by no means a sophisticated network management tool but it manages to pack in the essentials in a very light package. However, it could do with a better network analyser to investigate connection problems and some way of identifying PC's on a network.

In short, this is a collection of GUI based network admin tools that are user friendly although only suitable for small networks.

From the publisher of PacketTrap DNS Audit

PacketTrap DNS Audit matches each IP address in a specified range of IP addresses to its domain name, and then checks back from the domain name to the IP Address to see if the resolution is the same forward and in reverse. DNS Audit also displays NetBIOS Host Name, Host, and LMHost for complete visibility.
