What did your mom do when you got sick being a kid? Most probably the first thing she did was giving you a thermometer to check your body heat. If you are trying to access a remote computer and are not getting a response, chances are that computer is not functioning properly. In other words, it might be sick. But how would you give a thermometer to that PC?
There is a free tool called ping.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to poke the remote PC and check its response. To use ping.exe , you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type ping.exe followed with IP address of the computer you want to check.
Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You would judge - or, rather, guess, - the remote computers health by the cryptic numbers printed as decimal integers. If the remote computer is not available, or if the network is not available, or if some link or a piece of hardware in between you and the remote PC has failed, youll get nothing. It is up to you to guess what and where have failed.
SI Ping, on the other hand, gives clearly legible and well formatted output by providing easy to understand and well explained numbers. It displays all the vital information, such as time to access the remote computer, in milliseconds, and allows you to ping more than one computer by simply selecting their address from a combo box.
Thanks to its user-friendly, convenient user interface, SI Ping is much more convenient to use than the Windows ping.exe.

Server Ping 1.01B is created as an advanced and sophisticated program allowing you to enter an unlimited number of IP or URL addresses of servers, pc, printers any device that has an IP address and ping that address at regular intervals. The IP/URL is picked randomly from the list you entered. If the program doesn't get a response it will attempt an http connection. If it fails at both the program will send a message to a desginated email address informing the receiptant of the failure or failures. The IP/URL will remain in the rotation list until 3 ping failures are reached.

At that time the IP/URL will be removed for the rotation and the list you entered until the program is restarted. The message you receive on the third failure will inform you that the IP/URL will be removed from the rotation. If it fails at a ping but gets an http response it will inform you by email and the ip/url will remain in the rotation.
