FREEping - Server Pinging
Do you want to know if all your Windows 2003-XP-2000-NT servers are alive and pinging? Do you want to receive a pop-up message when one of them is not running anymore? FREEping is a free ping software utility which will ping all your IP addresses in free-definable intervals. FREEping automatically pings in the background and shows statistics for each pinged hosts. When a host stops responding, FREEping can send popup messages to a specified destination.
