How many times have you tried connecting to a popular Web site only to find that it takes forever and a day just to pull up the information? The only thing more frustrating than waiting for a Web page to load is not knowing whether the delay you are experiencing is a result of the site itself, the internet in general, your local provider, or your own computer.
While there are many specialized diagnostic tools that focus only on specific segments of your 'net connection, until now there has never been a program that covers the entire scope of the personal Internet experience, beginning at your desktop itself and culminating in the Web sites that you access.
Net.Medic is a tool that is drawing rave reviews across the 'net, and for good reason. This consummate 'net diagnostic tool does an excellent job of pinpointing where the Internet's bottlenecks are and then revealing this information to you via instrumentation panels. The attractive, high-tech interface presents you with a dashboard of toolbar panels (similar to a car's dashboard of gauges) that display critical statistics and information about your connection. Each panel represents a specific segment of the Internet that can be analyzed to help isolate, diagnose, prescribe, and sometimes even automatically fix the problems that inevitably arise.
Each panel can reside with several other Net.Medic panels on the dashboard, or the panel can be set to float by itself on top of your desktop. A third option allows you to lock the panel onto your Web browser so that you can view its information while still browsing the Web. A Net.Medic icon also resides in the desktop traybar that graphically represents the overall status of your connection. As with other Net.Medic functions, the icon flashes green or gray to represent an error-free connection, yellow to signify a minor problem, and red to alert you to severe trouble.
