Wooo, Windows support! Availability of network diagnostics tools in Windows has been problematic, particularly for very infrequent use. There are some good looking ones for purchase, but it's hard to purchase when we don't usually need it.

For a while, largely related I think to just not having enough bandwidth at our office, but also partly because our coax on the Xfinity cablemodem was sketchy, we were not infrequently having issues, and the majority of my coworkers are on Windows. ping and tracert aren't very good tools for finding out what is going on with intermitant networking issues, especially when it might also be people's home wifi from WFH. There were times I just wished they could run mtr.

Over the last year or so I've been seeing more Windows tools available, which has been great!

WinMTR is a thing, but you have to install it, ofcourse.

Thanks, WinMTR seems like exactly the sort of thing I was looking for back then, not sure why it didn't come up in our searches at the time.

i still do like HLSW's TraceRoute if it can even be found online anymore; sometimes i just wanna see a monitor-wide graph of all the traceroutes in line-form. i, however, do not miss the glaringly bright day-star-theme at its core
