| Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell run the Sysinternals web site which provides advanced utilities, technical information, and source code related to Windows 9x, Windows Me, and Windows NT/2000 internals that you won't find anywhere else. Our favorites are: · TDImon - See TCP and UDP activity in real-time with this advanced network API monitoring tool. · Filemon - This monitoring tool lets you see all file system activity in real-time. It works on all versions of WinNT/2K as well as Windows 9x/Me and full source is included. | |
| Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session. | |
| Very nice and free network performance utility from netIQ. Tests include: Response Time, Throughput, Streaming, and Traceroute. |
Remote Control / File Sharing Applications |
Name | Description |
I'm InTouch allows you to remotely control your PC from any computer or wireless device with Internet access. Control your PC to run any program, transfer files, and respond to Outlook e-mail. You can also troubleshoot PCs, invite remote guests to your PC to show presentations or online demos, and monitor your child's computer and Internet activities. | |
GoToMyPC allows you to remotely access your computer from any other Internet-connected computer in the world through a secure, private connection. Requires installing an application on the PC to be accessed. That PC can then be accessed via a web browser from anywhere, even behind NAT firewalls. Priced from $10 to $30 per month for individual plans. | |
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It's a FREE remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. (No file transfer capability, however.) | |
RA (Remote-Anything) allows you to use or supervise any distant PC via a network access, dial-up, cable, or the Internet -as if you were there- and without disturbing distant users. Run and use any DOS and Windows program, transfer files (drag & drop), get passwords of the distant PC, reboot, lock it up, and much more! Much cheaper than pcAnywhere or Timbuktu at $49 for one Master and one Slave license. |
