Download The Dude 3.0 beta 6

The Dude is a free-to-use network monitor for the Windows platform and is able to recognize connected network equipment in a subnet. The devices found are then graphically displayed in a kind of map, so that a visualized version of the network is available. In addition, The Dude indicates which services are running on the various equipment and a warning can be given when a service is no longer running.
