Since the iPaq I got has both bluetooth and wifi it is very useful in a networked environment and so the obvious requirement is a networking tool that can do the usual diagnostics work. I found a excellent freeware tool called vxUtil from Cambridge Computer Corporation.
Features:
- DNS Audit
- DNS Lookup
- Finger
- Get HTML
- Network Interface Info like ifconfig or ipconfig
- IP Subnet Calculator
- Password Generator
- Ping and Ping Sweeper
- Port Scanner
- Quote
- Time Service client
- Traceroute
- whois
All round excellent tool one that I often use, view the extended entry to see screenshots of it in action.
