NetworkView is a compact network discovery and management tool for the Win32 platform : in a few minutes, it will discover all TCP/IP nodes and draw a full graphical map (including routes) using DNS, MAC addresses, SNMP, WMI, NetBIOS and TCP Ports information. It can also poll the network and send an email when nodes are unreachable. With more than 28000 entries in its SNMP and MAC addresses databases, it can be used from a FLOPPY DISK !

Monitor network hosts, shared resources, traffic, get MAC addresses, scan TCP and UDP ports, and be notified when devices turn on or go down. Create network diagram and see your network`s state in visual form at any time. LANState contains many tools for administrators and users such as sending messages, shutting down and turning on remote computers, ping, name lookup, trace route, obtaining information on remote hosts, creating reports, etc.

A free multi-threaded IP, SNMP and NetBIOS scanner with several advanced features. The program pings computers, scans for listening TCP ports and displays which types of resources are shared on a network (including hidden). In addition,it allows you to mount shared resources as network drives, browse them, filter the results list and more. The scanner can also check for a user-defined port, resolve host names and auto-detect your local IP range.

This freeware network scanner displays active computers with logged user names (NetBIOS), MAC and IP addresses. Bopup Scanner also recognizes and shows HTTP (Web) servers running on remote computers (TCP ports 80, 8080), quickly detects online computers, allows to browse shared resources of remote computer and save results to a text file. Advanced users can enter IP range to scan, run the program from a command line interface.

HW VSP adds a virtual serial port (COM5) to the system and redirects all communication over TCP/IP to remote IP address. HW VSP is free in unlimited version, it supports Windows 2000 and XP. HW VSP works with any TCP/IP device, it can work as a TCP server as well as a TCP Client. HW VSP supports remote RS232 port control (speed, parity, stop bits, etc..) over the RFC2217 (NVT).

PortsLock is installed, administrators can assign permissions to TCP/IP connections, just as they would in managing permissions on an NTFS partition of a hard disk. It lets you control which users or groups can access what TCP/IP based protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, Telnet, etc.) on a local computer, depending on the time of day and day of the week. You can also set allowed/denied TCP/UDP ports and IP addresses for incoming and outgoing connections
