Aliasing / labeling an IP Address

Question

Can I associate a 'friendly name' with an IP Address? The automatic name doesn't really help identify a target.

Solution

Yes, you can! Both PingPlotter and MultiPing offer a mechanism for associating a friendly name with an IP Address. To do this, enter a name after the IP Address, like this:

192.168.0.9 My Server Name

This will result in that host showing up as 'My Server Name' throughout the program.
