New Network Diagnostics tool from Microsoft
Microsoft has issued a free tool for diagnosing network problems. Its use is described in some detail at this Microsoft article. The author writes
In the five-plus years I’ve been writing about Windows XP for the Expert Zone, I’ve often written about networking problems. Those networking columns have consistently generated the most e-mail from readers. In the community, networking problems continue to be the source of many questions and quite a bit of frustration. Clearly, networking is an area that still causes a lot of problems for people. The newest Microsoft tool, the Network Diagnostics tool for Windows XP, is designed to help. And, after running it against some typical network problems on my test machines, I’d have to say that Network Diagnostics is indeed a useful tool. In this article I will explain how to run it and what it does (and doesn’t) do.
There is also a Microsoft knowledge base article (in typical Microsoft-speak) describing procedures here. If you hunt through this article, you can find the download link for the new tool but I will save you the trouble. This is the download link. . Actually, it’s the link to the EULA but after you click “I agree” you’ll get the download.
