Computer Network Information Tool

How Do I Find My IP Address was a guide that we published on Ghacks a few days ago. It described how a Windows user could display the internal and external IP address on the computer without resorting to external tools or applications. We have received quite a few emails by users who told us that they would prefer a software solution.

Network Information Center is such a software. The tool displays various network related information in its interface upon startup. The computer network information tool will automatically list the external and internal IP address, default gateway and physical address. All information can be copied to the clipboard individually.

A refresh button is available to update the network information. The program displays the name of the network interface card and contains an option to ping an IP address or website. It lacks more advanced networking tools like tracert but it was probably never the intention of the developer to create a full blown networking software.

Network Information Center is a handy software that displays relevant information about the primary network card. The program runs fine on 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It might need the Microsoft .net Framework to run. The download of the 210 Kilobyte tool is provided on the website.

    This app requires .Net Framework, doesn’t state which version, I have all included latest 4.0, still run shows a “Container” error, though delivers correct data if I bypass the error message.

    Another neat little application is ‘Network Info’ from ‘oddgravity’ software. No Framework and provides the same data (ping test excluded), at http://www.oddgravity.de/app-oni.php

    .NET Framework is pa pain in the neck.
