Network Administration

I’ve found 2 new apps that should help with those who have a handful of computers to admin, mainly at a home network type, or a very small business.
Advanced IP Scanner finds and then lets you control computers on your network. Mainly useful for remote shutdown and LAN-on machines, easy ftp/ssh, etc. Granted, if you have a home network set with reserved IP’s, its kind of useless, but it does make connecting to computers a simple matter of finding it on the list and clicking on it. Best of all, its free for windows.
Check it out, Advanced IP Scanner
SoftPerfect has a nice portable network scanner. It’s small (<1 mb) but can scan the network quite quickly. It provides a list of shared folders that you can easily map as a drive, the usual Lan-wake, restart, but also provides mac addresses, but the best part?
It lets you launch applications through the network. Of course its freeware, and sadly, windows only.

Great common sense here. Wish I’d thought of that.
Pues Rafa, estoy de acuerdo contigo, pero has sido muy diplomático. Esta tipeja es una fascista redomada.Dices que no soporta el nacionalismo y no es cierto: porque es una nazionalista española de la peor calaña. De esas que cree que todos tenemos que ser patriotas de pandereta.Y silbar al borbón de turno es un ejercicio muy sano.Y finalmente Aúpa Athleticsalud y silbidos a quienes corresponde
