TCPing sends out a synchronized signal to a destination port and waits for its return to see if the service is up.

TCPing for Windows is a great software product designed to test the reachability of a host or port on an IP network. Whereas the standard Ping can be blocked on be ignored due to security protection such as a firewall, the TCPing can ping over a TCP connection and will show the reachability of service on a host using TCP/IP as well as the amount of time it takes to reach a specified port. In laymen terms, it works very similar to how sonar works with submarines to ping an object to show if it exists whereas the time can be measured. In essence, TCPing is mostly used to test for open ports on remote machines. Some of the command options that supported by TCPing include: unlimited ping, resolution for IP addresses to the hostname, the custom number of requests, the custom connect timeout, and the wait time between pings. Some of the benefits and features of this product are:

1. It is a good alternative to a standard ping that can be ignored or blocked.

It is useful over a regular ping when the ICMP packets are ignored and offers a test of the destination port in Windows

2. It works with newer and older versions of Windows.

3. It is an easy program to download and install.

4. It is a great tool and free program for all Windows users.

5. TCPing supports IPv4 and IPv6.

The test speed for measuring the return results for TCPing are measured in milliseconds which is noted as ms. A good speed for testing broadband internet connections is usually under 100ms or lower. The most efficient connections measure below 30ms. The best part of this free software tool is that it will work with any version of Windows you are running on your computer, new or older. TCPing is a software product that has been developed by Spetnik.com and is available for download on your computer.

This program seems like a neat tool. I am not entirely sure exactly what it does, but it seems like it could be useful. I do not think that I would ever use it, but it seems like IT professionals would get use out of it. The fact that it is free would make me download it as an additional tool if I were in the IT field or found myself needing its functionality.

This definitely will make IT alittle more less headache!! I'm super excited to see technology rapidly develop through the years!! A less complex way of checking for open ports & allows you to ping devices/networks more random then before! A must have app in the IT world!!

TCPing is a Windows application that allows users to troubleshoot their networks. The creator is Eli Fulkerson. This application is a small, self-contained command line tool. It gives users access to evaluate firewall connectivity, determine if the servers are online even when ICMP is being blocked, and check on service restarts. It uses windows command line to run.

Blair

It is a network tool 
it helps us determine the ping we can check our ping using this software
it is little complicated to use however knowledgable people like me can use it efficiently 
it doesn't consume too much storage and it is very useful to determine our network ping.

TCPing is a pinging software for servers, being able to ping specific ports using IP/TCP. ICMP Packets are not blocked or ignored by this software, making it a viable alternative to built-in functionalities. It's a simple program that does its job well, but it does have customization options built-in, such as custom request numbers, custom wait times, and more.                        

Andrew

A real bargain!
To be honest, it is not the easiest software to use, but definitely useful and highly efficient for those who have the right competencies. With its function of resolution for IP address to the hostname, my job now is much easier. Furthermore, if you are looking for a program for open ports on remote machines, you found it!
Plus, this app is totally free!                        

Adam

simply not my type of app, this app seems to be reserved for the computer gurus, or can I say the cyber freaks. it must have to be built on a lot of intelligent programs due to its ability to interpret IP response and all but i am actually not good which the cyber thing.

TCPing is a free tool that IT professionals can download to the older and new versions of Windows. It provides IT the ability to check for open ports on their network without having to deal with firewalls. Some folks say it is similar to a sonar system used by submarines. This is an ideal tool to have on computer systems especially for smaller businesses who are trying to watch their budgets.
