To check if a server or a website works correctly, one of the options we have is to be able to ping. This way we can diagnose possible failures and carry out actions to correct them. In this article we are going to talk about PingInfoView . It is a simple free program that allows us to ping many different sites. We will explain how to download and use it.
PingInfoView, the program to ping 100 sites
If we wonder why it may be necessary to launch a ping , we can say that one of the main reasons is when a web page does not work. We try to enter but we see that it does not open. We can check if there is some kind of problem with the server or it is another error.
To ping we can use commands in the operating system, but we also have tools that help us in a more visual way. There are many such programs. We have tested PingInfoView, which is very interesting software and also totally free.
PingInfoView has an important peculiarity, and that is that it allows us to ping a large number of sites at the same time. We can, if we want to, target 100 sites at once. This is very interesting for those users who want to control certain pages and see that everything is going well. It also has different options and configurations that we can take into account to get the most out of it.
How to use PingInfoView
To start using PingInfoView, the first thing we have to do is download it . As we have indicated, it is a totally free tool. In addition, it does not require installation, so we simply have to run it once we have it downloaded on our computer. We enter the NirSoft website and go down to the download link. We will also find there all the information regarding this application.
Once we have it downloaded in our system we will only have to execute it. In the first window we will find a box where we have to put the IP addresses to which we want to point. We can paste as many as we want.
As we can see there are different parameters that we can configure . We can change the time that passes to re-ping, remember addresses, etc. When we have everything configured as we want, we simply have to click on OK and it will begin to ping those sites.
In our case we have put 30 seconds of interval , so that is the time it takes to ping. We will constantly update the application and we will see data related to possible failures, the number of times it has pinged, etc.
When we want to stop, we simply have to press the red Stop button, which appears above. We can resume it at any time, as well as add new IP addresses that we are interested in controlling.
If we click with the second mouse button on any of the addresses that we have pinged we can see more information . A new window will open as we see in the image above with data from that site, in order to have more control.
By clicking on the Options button that appears above we can change different parameters. For example, we can enter Advanced Options and see the maximum number of pings simultaneously. By default it is marked as 500, but it is a figure that we can modify if we want.
An interesting point for those who want to ping dozens of websites is to be able to upload a file with all of them. We do not need to write it manually, or have to copy them from another site. Simply by having the file ready, we upload it to the program and they are added.
In short, PingInfoView is a program that allows you to ping multiple sites at the same time in a simple and intuitive way. We simply have to put the addresses that interest us and configure it with the appropriate parameters, such as the time for example. An alternative to take into account compared to other similar tools that we can also use in Windows.
