I had a hard drive crash yesterday on my pc, and lost a few very nice tools and I forgot the names of them.

One of them (and my favorite) was a ping/traceroute program that I downloaded from some website. I could enter a domain name in the top left corner, and the traceroute data with ip's would load in the center. I could right click in the center on a data line, and have several options to choose from such as do a whois, or an arin ip lookup on the various network hops. This was very handy.

It could also ping continuously, and at the very bottom was a horizontal graph of the ping times. Right clicking in there you could change the frequency such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and so on. This way if you had a 24 hour ping going on, you could accurately see the ping times by choosing 24 hours instead of say 10 minutes.

I just downloaded this program a few days ago, so I forget the fricking name, but I loved it and desperately want to find it again.

Thanks!!!!

Found it. Gave it one last chance, and got lucky and was able to recover my hard drive thanks to the Maxtor Powermax utility.

FYI, the program I was referring to was Ping Plotter. (www.pingplotter.com)
