Program to create network schematic

[Guest news.zen.co.uk]

Hi

 

i'm trying to find a decent program that will visually map out my work's

network (running on Windows SBS 2003) and create a network schematic with

the minimum of fuss, and this for someone who has a little networking

knowledge...but not much.

 

i've tried several programs already, but none of them do quite what i want.

i'm looking for something that doesn't need me to punch in all the ip

addresses of the workstations and routers etc, but can work it out for

itself and display them in a nice and easy to understand visual way.

 

Can anyone recommend a program - and it doesn't have to be freeware - that

will work out all the ip addys and ideally, show the connections between

them too?

 

Many thanks!

Ash

Hi - you have an identical post in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. In

the future, please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups,

it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of

relevant groups (separate the group names with commas) so that everyone can

follow the thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and

may lead to your actually getting *less* help rather than more.

Apologies, i had intended on just posting to the one group, but then i

discovered the other two groups. i haven't used Usenet to any great extent

for a good while now, and couldn't remember if crossposting in this case

would be the right or wrong thing to do, so i just took a chance and posted

normally in the two other groups.

 

Your link doesn't appear to be working, btw.

Yep, just checked - "server busy". I guess a lot of people are being

directed there. Try

Thanks for that, i'm now aware of the issue as much as i should have been in

the first place, and it won't be happening again (at least not be me anyway

:)

 

Just out of interest, i'm still getting a 404 or 'Server busy' everytime i

try the demon site, and i've tried it at various times too, which is

ususual. Could there be a problem with the site, or demon's network

perhaps..?

Could be - not sure. I haven't tried clicking on it for a while....maybe I

should take the link out of my little rant text.
