Network Diagnostic for ME

[Corday]

Because Microsoft is going to remove this from their site, I figured us
graybeards might like to preserve it.

Network Diagnostics Features
Overview

The Network Diagnostics Tool in Windows Me was designed to make it easy for
both the consumer and the support professional to quickly gain usable
information about the consumer's home network environment.

This tool can:

*

Run inside the system help utility to gather information.
*

Report computer system properties.
*

Report OS version and WMI version.

network) adapter configurations.

*

Ping each configured Domain Name System (DNS) server.
*

Ping each configured Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server.
*

Ping the Internet Explorer-configured proxy server.
*

Ping the default Outlook Express Mail server.
*

Since stuff for Win 95 and DOS is still on the site as well, it's unlikely
that MS is going to be taking it down any time soon - although that could
change overnight, with Sinofsky running Windows...
The fact that the content is actually part of Visio 2000 support may protect
it longer than if it were actually part of Windows (or not!).

Remember also that the tool itself (logs.htm) is part of Win Me and doesn't
need the technet page although the page might help in determining the output
of the tool.
