We've been helping people solve network problems since dial-up. All those years taught us a thing or two, and we're sharing what we've learned in this growing collection of articles.
Version 2.30.1 (available in the download section) has the following new features:
This is primarily a bug fix, including the following:
Slow load times when running Norton Antivirus Auto-Protect fixed.
Some routes (mostly when the next to the last hop wasn't responding, but the last hop was) would cause Ping Plotter to blue-screen under Windows 95/98/ME.
Alerts sometimes didn't fire correctly if the visible graph was selecting a route that wasn't the current route.
Alert e-mails had a date of 1899 instead of current date.
Alert e-mails were being introduced to the SMTP server without a from line, so a very select few SMTP servers would reject.
If the final destination wasn't in the route because of a route lengthening (and the final destination stopped responding at the same time), alerts on that hop wouldn't always fire.
/save command line option didn't work correctly.
The focus rectangle sometimes didn't draw on the lower graph when focused on a non-current period. This is now corrected.
List index out of bound error when doing a text export under certain conditions.
This version has been tested with Windows XP RC2. Since that operating system isn't released yet, we can't promise that everything will work well, but our preliminary tests look good.
