Detailed Description:
JPing is a network connectivity diagnostic tool designed to establish TCP/IP connections with remote services to validate their availability. This is accomplished by connecting to a remote service using its well known Port Number. JPing is also designed to interoperate with Firewalls. It supports both SOCKS and HTTP Proxies. JPing is a 100% Java application. It is a fairly simplistic tool, making connections to remote services at the TCP/IP level. During this connection process no application data is exchanged. As such this tool verifies that a remote service is running and listening for new
connections, but does not determine if the remote service is processing requests for data. JPing is not equivalent to Ping. The Ping utility uses the ICMP Protocol to determine of a remote host is running. JPing uses the TCP/IP protocol to determine if a remote service is running a remote host. JPing is similar to the Windows NotesCONNECT tool. The differences are that JPing is written in Java, which make it cross platform, it supports firewalls and has a monitoring capability. Much of these new features came from ideas submitted by NotesCONNECT users. I hope that old NotesCONNECT users and new JPing users will find this tool useful.


Features:
Written in Java to run on all Java compliant platforms
Firewall support using Proxies (SOCKS or HTTP Proxy)
Monitoring functionality to continuously probe a service and determine it's availability
Pop Up Error Notification on failures
Build in support for many common Services
Allows users to connect to services other than those listed in the services list.
Maps Host Name to IP Addresses and displays results.
Maintains History Lists
