Hi

Any tried the Afrihost Network App yet!

My attempt crashed on install :wtf:! (Win7)

Mine installed fine (maybe a corrupt sip file? download again) but doesn't produce accurate results. There are random timeouts on the ping and tracert, if I do these tests manually then there isn't a problem, and I don't have a problem, was just trying out the app.

It's pretty accurate for me. Results correlate well with manual test.

On a Mac. Installed and ran fine.

Did manual testing. Seems to be accurate.

I would download it, if I wasn't so shaped that I have to reconsider 40MB

I just launched it again now to show you guys, but it came up with "update available".

Busy downloading now and will post the results.

Like I said, I don't have any issues so this doesn't faze me. Nice idea tho for the people that are noobs, just a bit concerned that it will complicate matters when it's showing problems when there are none.

Its a good App, but those programmers need some lessons on programming, how the hell is the most simple ping/trace app 93MB? seriously, im sure someone could remake it under 2MB.
