OTTool
Current Version: 1.2.1
OTTool is a free utility from Neon Software which provides a synopsis of the AppleTalk and IP configuration parameters within Apple Computer's Open Transport networking architecture. In addition, OTTool allows users on IP networks to make Domain Name Server (DNS) queries, ping devices using ICMP Pings, trace IP routes (UNIX traceroute), scan through ranges of IP addresses asking for resolutions, and to query a DNS for Mail Exchange and System Info. Version 1.2.1 fixed a compatibility issue with OS X 10.1 and added more user interface improvements for OS X 10.1.
User Reviews
"This an excellent little tool that does exactly what it says in a neat, simple, intuitive interface. Ideal for Administrators tracing network problems or simply the curious user. Highly recommended."
