Windows Upnp Browser0.1.0.1

Beneath what may appear to be a simple cable or wireless network, there is a solid infrastructure, built on control points and protocols that keep everything running smooth and secured. In order to view what's going on in your network, various tools can be used. One such utility is Windows UPnP Browser which provides several details regarding devices connected to the same network.

Lightweight with a simple interface

The application comes in a very light package and only requires little system resources to grant you access to all of its features, which are rather shallow. The interface is simple, with no custom visual elements to enhance it. Two main areas provide all needed details, one giving you access to detected devices, while the other panel displays desired info.

Various details displayed

You network is constantly scanned for new devices an is update as soon as something is detected. Selecting an item for the list populates the second panel with details stored in three tabs.The first is strictly related to the device itself, with name, UDN, type and manufacturer being a few of the available fields. In addition, you gain access to a script code schematics, as well as services currently running on the specific devices.

Little features to work with

Unfortunately, this is as far as functionality stretches, with literally no other options provided. Even for analysis purposes, it takes some knowledge to get the hang of it all. It is only a pity that there is no integrated function that allows remote access to devices, which would have made the app a little more useful.

To end with

All things considered, Windows UPnP Browser is mostly targeted at experienced network administrators, not being of much help to common users. Even so, it tends to feel a little rough around the edges, the amount of info put at your disposal being a little shallow.
