Version 5.0 (12/09/2012)
v5.0 introduces:
| • | NetWatch – not only PING anymore! |
| o | monitoring of TCP/IP services – monitoring the response time and lost packets percentage for the following services: HTTP, POP3, SMTP, FTP and 50 others |
| o | monitoring of any TCP port |
| o | DNS-based host identification; automatic address checking every 10 minutes |
| o | support for TLS/SSL protocols in alert e-mails |
| • | SNMP browser – MIB file compiler – allowing the addition of a new MIB database object in order to support new custom SNMP devices |
| • | Traceroute – geographic host map – graphic information on subsequent hosts along the packets route. |
| • | Geographical location – information on the geographical location (country) of a remote IP address (in tools: NetStat, NetWatch, Ping, Trace). This option may allow the detection of suspicious connections, e.g. to Russia or China, established by malware. Geographical information is also available for the address given in every tool. |
| • | Wake on LAN as a parameter for netTools launch – remote starting or waking machines via network adapter |

Version 3.0 (11/13/2006)
Version 3.0 introduces several new tools, which will help you in everyday administrative tasks:
| • | WinTools - This tool is designed to list exhaustive system information from Windows computers (using WMI). It has several predefined queries allowing to read service list, disk information, process list etc. You can also define your own queries. |
| • | NetStat - It displays the list of your computer's inbound and outbound network connections, including the information on open TCP and UDP ports, IP address, and connection states. NetStat also shows the process name using the connection (socket). |
| • | Local info - Displays several tables with important information about local configuration: network statistics for TCP/UDP and ICMP, IP address table, ARP table, IP routing table, network adapter info. |
| • | TCP/IP workshop - It provides you with the ability to establish low-level TCP and UDP connections to troubleshoot and test different networking services. With this tool you can send raw data to any port on the remote computer. You can also listen on any local port to see all data the remote computer sends. |
| • | E-mail alerting system improved in NetWatch - The whole component responsible for sending alert e-mails has been rewritten to ensure it's reliability:
- The program does not require any external SMTP server to send alert e-mails.
- You can test it's operation to make sure all options are correctly entered.
- While testing you will see messages describing potential problems.
- The program saves a log with the information about every alert e-mail sent, so you could verify if it is working properly. |
