SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a free multi-threaded IP and NetBIOS scanner. Both system administrators and users who are interested in computer security can use this. The scanner pings computers, scans for listening TCP ports and shows what types of resources are shared on a network (including system and hidden). It allows you to mount shared resources that are found by the program as network drives, simply browse them using Windows Explorer, etc.

    By far the best free IP scanner in existence. Extremely modular; active and responsive development; and packed with features.

    Had it freeze on me a couple times when stopping/starting scans before letting one complete, but overall a very robust, but not bloated scan utility.

    Good program only complaint is when you save the list it doesnt show the IPs that don't respond.
