multiPing

Description

This is a Rainmeter skin to ping and display your Internet connection status via several hops: your router, your ISP gateway, Google DNS.

Each hop is represented by a dash. It is white if ping to the hop was successful, and red if it was not.

You can add more hops by copying and editing respective blocks. For example, you can add a bridge router if you have one. You can also track independent addresses, local or global.

Installation

  • Create a subfolder in Rainmeter skins folder (usually %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins) and put the skin file multiPing.ini into it.
  • Enable the skin multiPing in Rainmeter.

Configuration

  • Find the skin on your screen. Due to its small size it can be tricky, try start searching it in the top left corner.
  • Move it wherever you prefer. I put it next to Windows Clock, but for that I had to change its Position in Settings to "Stay topmost".
  • Edit the multiPing.ini file and change the DestAddress in each measure block to the IP or DNS address of required hosts.
