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.

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.

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.
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.

Thanks. The overall community will benefit. Thanks.

On the earlier JAVA issue
I did post the problem on the ICE thread. Others have verified the issue I ran into. Pemasu has indicated a possible resolution. But, this is a strange one indeed. And, he admittedly, has little to no JAVA experience.

If you have seen something like this before, your insights could help.

added a 64bit pet of AngryIP beta5 top post

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

Its definitely V5 for me. It has excellent layout.

Hop ths helps

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.

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.

Thanks, I think the issue is because one is AngryIP version 2 (non-java) versus the other being AngryIP version 3 (java). Thus, there are probably some limitations.

Its still the fastest IP scanner on the market.

Hope this helps

Thanks for this excellent tool!

It appears to work fine with Exprimo 5x14 on a netbook.

Question: What would you pair with it to analyze ISP bandwidth, speed, etc, please?

Theres a network monitoring tool called EtherApe which can monitor connections and speed although I haven't used it for bandwith monitoring but Wireshark can do that and I think Exprimo has Puppy's built in bandwith monitor.

New version of AngryIP up in the first post

Thanks!

Sure wish the world of Puppy had a push-mail list, or similar, to notify of new and of updates.

Just hoping to notice them doesn't seem the best method ...

Possibly, however implementing it would be a major pain.
