really? I mean, it doesn't actually seem to diagnose anything
correctly.

Which is not really surprising as you can't do that on anything but
the most simple network without some underlying knowledge of the
network topology and monitoring at multiple points.

In short, forget Net.Medic - it's useless.

[followups set to demon.ip.support.win95, as it's only available for
that platform.]
