Does someone know some simple utility for LAN network diagnostics? Just to
solve problems like unable access to shared folders(shared documents),
network share is not visible or not accessible via network, firewall(windiws
or hardware) prevent file and printer sharing, test pings, registry settings
is incorrect, and similar issues. Not to change or repair anything, just
help to find where problem is and notify.
Single executable, without installation required, does not write anything in
registry.
Most lan network problems is the same, so utility will do this better and
faster.
