A fast and friendly IP Scanner written in java converted to pet by request. Can be run by going to network under the menu and clicking on the menu icon there.

[gcmartin]

To use this tool, JAVA is REQUIRED!

This is a great additional to the networking arsenal. This is, by far, the fastest network scanner on the planet.

Cannot Thank YOU enough for this.

Wrong thread.

I tried running AngryIP in ICEPUP and SNOWPUP by @Pemasu.

Java was installed, first. Then AngryIP.. It seem to install OK but clicking Menu > Network > AngryIP did not start the application.

Could someone look at this and give an assessment?

Thanks in advance
P.S. Same problem with "IP Monitor".

Nice one, works a treat, really fast, thankyou for this.

gcmartin, sounds as if java isn't installed correctly, try typing " java -version " in the terminal, you should get a message like this.

[DPUP5520]

I don't know why it wouldn't be working in Snowpup but it could be a problem with the experimental kernel is Icepup that's causing you're problem there (just a thought I don't really know) if Java is installed correctly. I have a pet for Beta 5 done just gotta post it up when I get a chance.

Thanks everyone, I'll do some further checks.

Edited:][/b removed as it was an inaccurate statement.
[b]Edited2: I've since found that this problem also existed in prior releases of ICE/SNOW. This is a QuickPET/PPM issue with these 2 distros. The distro author has resolved the JAVA issue "outside of the PPM"

@DPUP5520, I had mentioned this before: (If you see merit, you may want to add). A check of JAVA presence could provide same assistance to anyone using the 2 JAVA PET masterpieces (AngryIP and IPmonitor).

• At installation could PET provide a dependency check for JAVA (seems like a lot of PETs do that when installed from PPM)?
  Or
  
• At installation could PET launch a background JAVA test and alert if JAVA missing?
  Or
  
• Differently, at application launch, could the application run an alert if JAVA is missing?

Your tools work fine, when JAVA is present. But, for example, in the case of SNOW/ICE, nothing is showing up on the desktop when menu launched.
ALSO: Could you post the 64bit PET for AngryIP_V5b to here along with the 32bit PET already there. I will test it for you.

All other PUP systems, thus far, do NOT exhibit this problem that I have run into with SNOW/ICE JAVA installation.

Thanks for all advice and Hope this helps.

I will make a 64bit pet tonight or tomorrow and post it here for testing as I don't run any 64bit puppies. I will modify the new pet I have for Beta 5 when I have time and set it so when the program is run it will do a Java check.

added a 64bit pet of AngryIP beta5 top post

[DPUP5520]

Added 32bit pet of AngryIP beta5 top post, 32bit beta4 will be left up for time being.

[gcmartin]

Its definitely V5 for me. It has excellent layout.

Hop ths helps

[gcmartin]

Here’s something of interest on using AngryIP. It seems to have a couple of issues where it is different from the Windows version in 2 very important areas..

They are

• ability to show MAC address column in results Window
  
• ability to capture and display the hostname after scanning LAN

See this links for a flow on the problems.

Help if you can.

[DPUP5520]

Sorry for the late reply, I suspect these are feature simply not implemented yet as it is still a beta and all. I tried contacting the developers to no avail.
