Great little utility for examining network hosts

I have a home network with a variety of devices present. I love my wifi network and use it for all kinds of things. My prefered computers are Macs, a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. Also an HP workstation, printers, iPhones, and some other things. When I want to use "Remote Desktop Connection" I have to know what the IP number of a particular Windows box is. Merely looking at an "arp -a" display doesnt tell me which device is which. This utility quickly displays the IP numbers, MAC numbers and host names so that I can use the appropriate IP number for the Windows box to which I want to connect. This is a big timesaver for me.

One downside I have found is that it fills the ARP table with several hundred unconnected entries that take a few minutes to disappear. This may slow down address resolution a bit during this time as it most likely uses a linear search of the ARP table during routing.A

Overall though I like it and recommend it as worthwhile and worth the price.
