Detailed Description:
NotesCONNECT (NPing) is a TCP/IP diagnostics tool designed to verify that a service on a given machine is available. This is accomplished establishing an end-to-end TCP/IP connection with the target Host/application without using the Notes NAB or address resolution logic. This tool requires that Notes be installed on the local machine.
This tool is ideal for determining if an TCP/IP connectivity problem is Notes related or an IP infrastructure problem. This connection that is established is a TCP/IP connection, as opposed to ping which uses an IP connection over ICMP. No application or service specific protocol/data is exchanged during the "ping" connection.

New features in Version 2.0 include:
- A command-line version of NotesConnect called npingcl.exe
- Target Server History List
- Target Server Type-ahead
For more information on NotesCONNECT, see the Iris Today article, "Testing TCP/IP connections with NotesCONNECT."

Download nconnect.exe and run it in your Notes executable directory. The nconnect.exe is a self-extracting zip file. Next run nping.exe. NotesConnect uses Notes DLLs and needs access to your Notes.INI.
