fping (Fast Ping) includes the following functionality:

 

•Ping (sends ICMP requests) remote host

•Attempt a TCP port connection at a remote host (to determine whether the remote host or service are up and running)

•Scan a subnet to find IPs that are online

 

fping is intended to be a replacement for the ping.exe utility that ships with Windows and offers the following benefits over the built-in ping.exe utility:

 

•Faster

•Supports TCP port checks

•Finds active IPs

•Supports specifying partial IP addresses when pinging hosts in a local subnet

•Audio support

•Additional output options

•Support for storing presets

 

FPing returns an %ERRORLEVEL% of 0 when the remote host (or TCP port) was reachable and an %ERRORLEVEL% > 0 when the remote host did not respond to the ICMP echo requests or the TCP port was closed.
