ZOLA Connection Troubleshooter

Figuring out why a computer doesn't connect to a remote host can be challenging, even if you know a few things about networks and how they work. In situations like this, ZOLA Connection Troubleshooter can help you identify and fix the problem. It is a lightweight utility, with simple and straightforward controls, which make troubleshooting a connection quite easy, even for inexperienced users.

ZOLA Connection Troubleshooter is distributed as a freeware utility, for all modern Windows versions. Its setup package is quite small and its components can be installed in no time. The application doesn't require any special tools to run and it doesn't have any significant impact on a computer's performance.

All you have to do is type a host's name or IP address in the appropriate field, in the upper left corner of the interface and click a button, located in the same area. The application can test the connection to the specified host and pin point the cause of eventual problems. Alternatively, you can set ZOLA Connection Troubleshooter to fix the connection to that host right away.

If you decide to test the connection to a host, you can set the application to perform one or more tasks, like pinging the host, resolving its name, checking its file access settings and others. It is also possible to specify a username and a password, if necessary. Results for each individual task are displayed in a list, on the main interface and you can double click them to retrieve additional details, on separate windows.

ZOLA Connection Troubleshooter provides more options when it comes to fixing a problem. You can set it to enable file and printer sharing ports, the remote registry service, to disable the firewall and to make other fine tweaks. The entire operation involves nothing more than clicking a series of check boxes and radio buttons. Once your selection is complete, you may click an Execute button and let the application take care of the rest.
