You could use Net::Ping to find an average response rate. This doesn't actually tell you bandwidth though.\n\nAlternatively, you could have the one system send some amount of data to the other one and, using Time::HiRes, determine the average data transfer rate. If you don't have a server you can do this with, you can use Net::Daemon or some such for this purpose.

IPs don't start with unix or www, url's start with those.\n\nEverytime I have looked you can get Red vs Blue directly from the RvB site for free.

I searched for "free bandwidth test" on Yahoo! and this was the very first result:\n\nhttp://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

no you dont\nyou just need a perl interpreter\n\nof course, if you are using perl to generate web content (like html) then you would need a web server to serve that content to the world.

Download this,\nhttp://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?_x=1\nIt will allow your computer to run perl scripts.\n\nThen you can copy-paste the code into notepad and save it with a ".pl" file extension (Not ".txt").\nAfterward, you can run the script through the command line.

Gosh, tough one this. I write software to do that but... if you were doing something simple, an easy way forward is a series of DOS FTP commands, written into a batch file and called at the appropriate time by Windows Scheduler.\n\nGo into Google and do a search for "FTP Commands with batch file" and you will be able to produce some sort of bodge.

Unix or Linux would be my answer.  Linux especially can be adapted for a network's server needs.

First, you'll need to download the ActivePerl which is a Win32 port.  You can get it at http://www.activestate.com.  After you install it, you'll be able to run any Perl scripts from the command-line or double-click in Windows Explorer.  You can learn a lot of basics from the Win32 port, however many of its features were intended to be used on a *nix OS.  That means some features will be disabled.  Don't let that stop you from learning how to use it though.  Eventually though, you will need to migrate to a more compatible OS if you truly want to learn Perl.

Perl would be my preference.  There are interpereters available for all major platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows, OSX, etc.), so your scripts will be fairly portable depending on the system calls you use.\n\nThere are many libraries (Perl Modules) available that allow your scripts to do things like connect to databases, access web servers, access mail servers, and more.

The way that I would go about doing it is to use a Winsock control to make HTTP Requests. Here is a tutorial that may point you in the right direction:\n\nhttp://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=334645

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

Type the following in the command prompt window.\nping 127.0.0.1\n(This runs a loop back test through your NIC.)\n\nThe result must look as follows:-\nPinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:\n\nReply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128\nReply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128\nReply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128\nReply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128\n\nPing statistics for 127.0.0.1:\n    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),\nApproximate round trip times in milli-seconds:\n    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms\n--------------------------------------------------\nipconfig /all\n\n(This displays configuration details of your NIC)

Sure.\n\nWhen your connected to something, go to your start menu, and click RUN.\n\nOnce you have run open, type "CMD".  This will open the command line.\n\nThen while in command line (This is a black rectangular window).  Inside this window, type "netstat".\n\nFine the port and program that you are looking for, and voila! You got their IP.

Try GRISOFT AVG...its free and gets updated often. The page to find out more is http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/\n\nThe best one i know of is NOD32 but it can be expensive
