Network
Notepad
Prepare to be blown
away! This week's download is a gift from the "geek" community
that makes me proud to be a tech. The program is called Network
Notepad and I have been looking for something like this my whole
life, along with a few other things that I still haven’t found.
Network Notepad is
a network drawing tool that allows you to completely illustrate a diagram
of any network you wish. All networked resources, such as PCs, routers,
switches, any kind of server, firewalls, nodes, connection types, buildings,
houses and well, I think you get the point! You can insert anything into
the diagram with the Network Notepad program. Cool, huh?!
With the ever growing
popularity of broadband and routers, more and more people are setting
up small businesses and home networks without an outside tech. With Network
Notepad, you can lay out your network structure before you begin, which
will help with your design. Or, you can create a resource map of an existing
network to help you keep everything neat and orderly.
Network Notepad also
has some great features that help you add meaning to all of your network
icons, such labels, notes, IP Addresses, links and more that help you
further visualize your network resources.
Using Network Notebook
couldn’t be easier to use and it’s surprisingly fun too. Most
of the procedures are as basic as a drag and drop. In minutes, you can
have a detailed illustration of your network that you can save, print,
edit and most importantly, refer back to if you need some information
about your network.
There is plenty of
help for the program on the author’s Web
site as well. It clearly explains every detail of the program and
how to use it. Network Notepad works with all versions of Windows and
it has very low system requirements, so it should run on almost any PC
you want to throw it on.
I love this program!
It’s simple, to the point and is incredibly useful. If you have
a small network that you’re in charge of, this may be a good application
to take a look at as well.
You can download Network
Notebook here.
Hope you enjoy it!
