Communication Configuration Viewer : Seamlessly view network adapter-related information, such as NIC MAC and IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateway, and DHCP server
Communication Configuration Viewer is an easy-to-use software application that displays the communication hardware information for all your network adapters. It features straightforward options that can be tackled not only by experienced users, but also by casual ones.
No setup necessary, besides .NET Framework
The program's not wrapped in a setup kit, so you can save the downloaded files in a custom location on the HDD and simply double-click the .exe. However, you must have .NET Framework installed, as it was built with the aid of this platform. On the other hand, it doesn't modify Windows registry settings or create new files on the disk without asking for your permission.
Simple GUI for reading network info
Regarding the interface, Communication Configuration Viewer has a small window with a classical appearance, which invites you to select the preferred network UI from a drop-down menu.It immediately reveals the relevant details, namely the NIC MAC and IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateway, DHCP server, as well as whether or not DHCP is enabled. This info is auto-refreshed when switching to a different network card.There are no other notable settings available. Unfortunately, the tool doesn't integrate options for copying data to the Clipboard, printing it, or exporting it to file.
Evaluation and conclusion
We haven't experienced any issues in our tests as far as stability is concerned, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't freeze, crash or indicate error dialogs. As we expected, it left a small footprint on system resources, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM.To sum it up, the app may not have comprehensive features, but Communication Configuration Viewer offers a cleat-cut solution for finding out network card information, and it can be used by anyone with ease.
