That IS very cool... What we generally would like to VISUALLY show is WHERE the ping failure is occurring. Typically, it's the customer's router. Can you do a traceroute? Or allow for us to put in:
1. Customer's router (which may or may not be present) 2. Customer's gateway (in most cases for us it would be our CPE, but some CPEs can ONLY do bridge mode, in which case it would be our distro router) 3. Our distro router (router at the tower...may be optional for some bridged-only ISPs) 4. Our border router 5. Some external IPs or DNS names. Also perhaps an upload test... Thanks again... Your interface looks very user-friendly.

Then move the DNS to the other side under with "Mail Server" being the last on the list. (2) Internet Connectivity Test needs to show what it's pinging (I assume it would be a domain name like www.google.com). (3) Network speed test needs to do a download AND upload test (using FTP maybe?). Should be able to have a username/password and the server name to accomplish downloading and uploading files on a server. This is very cool. Nice work! Travis Larry Yunker wrote: How's this one look? I thought I'd put something together to be used as a "user check" program. It's fully functional now, but I need to build an ini file reader to hold each ISP's individualized settings I'll probably knock that out on Tuesday. then I'll try to publish it. If anyone sees something they would like changed/added, let me know.

I had the thought today that it would be really cool to have a simple program people could download on their PC and then run that would do things like: (1) Ping to our backbone router via IP address (showing latency results as well) (2) Ping our main DNS servers via IP address (3) Ping a domain name (4) Ping our main email server (5) Ping the customers default gateway (6) Show their configured IP address (both on the machine and on the Internet) (7) Speed test to our backbone (maybe just FTP a file from a local server and compute the time vs. file size?) (8) One additional button that would send all the results via email to whatever email address they put in. It would need to be a nice, pretty interface with a single button that says "Start". Then the results could show a Green Light for each item that was OK or a Red Light if there is a problem. It would also be nice to have your company Logo and phone number on the interface. Is anyone up for this task? I would be willing to pay to have something written, unless there is already something close out there?
