Network Computer Control

If you are a network administration taking care of
labs, this tool can be indispensable. Although
it takes some work to configure the tool, it pings
up to 200 computers and with a gui shows the
good/bad status of the computers. I use it to
track over 170 "public" computers. Although
there are other ping programs out there, the gui
on this one is better than having the data in a
listbox and looks pretty neat, even if I say so
myself.
This is an upgrade to my orginal submission.
This upgrade resizes the form depending on the
number of computers configured.
