Mike Volodarsky has updated his PortCheck tool to version 2.0. The tool is simple, but quick to troubleshoot connections against web sites.

A slight bug - your code allows for either two or three arguments (address, port, timeout), but the tool exits if a third argument is supplied: if (args.Length != 2) { Console.Error.WriteLine("Usage: PortCheck address port [timeout]"); return; }

Richard,

Great catch! I got a little sloppy with cleaning up source code. The timeout attribute is actually not supported, its left over from an "in-progress" version of the tool (v. 3) :)

I'll update the source code today. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike, One thing I noticed that Portcheck does not do is IP addresses. It comes back with a "DNS LOOKUP FAILED". It would be nice if it could do it as I sometimes like to test when setting up a site before I make DNS changes. Thanks, JJ

I updated the tool with the fix for the unsupported timeout parameter (removed) and fixed it to be able to use ip addresses.

Richard, JJ, thanks for reporting the bugs!

Thanks,

Mike
