Handy networking tool for the Mac

network utility

Are you curious about your Mac's current network connection or want to test if a remote server is still active? Is your connection to a server slow and want to learn more about the detours your data packets take on the way to their destination? Or are you on a hotel's Wi-Fi network and want to address poor network speed with solid data? We regularly use this handy little tool.

Of course, you can use Terminal for this and type commands like ping or traceroute. But there is a more Mac-like way: Meet Neo Network Utility. This tool offers a full suite of network tools for retrieving information about your network adapter and diagnosing common network problems. Netstat, Ping, Lookup, Traceroute, Whois, Finger, Port Scan and Network Speed, they are all present in a neat and uncluttered user interface.

With our feet in the mud
Here we are. Not quite recognizable anymore, thanks to AI trying to protect children. Understandable, of course. But believe us: these really are Berry and Frank. More than ten years apart, but in reality, we've always been brothers from another mother. And what do we have in common? A lot... and at the same time, almost nothing. Berry is often the good cop. Calm, down-to-earth, and always working to get things done. I'm usually the bad cop. Direct, critical, and always looking for ways to improve. But that combination is precisely what works. What completely unites us, though, is our love for...
