We are pleased to announce that Netquery v1.1 is now available for download from the Dev.Xoops Project Page.

Version 1.1 adds Looking Glass router interrogation IPv4 and IPv6 capabilities to Netquery's already sizable toolkit. In addition to Looking Glass, Netquery provides users of your site with a range of common network tools, including Whois lookups, DNS queries, port checking, ICMP ping, and traceroute.

While potentially powerful in the hands of advanced users, Netquery is not just for "network nerds".

Have you ever wondered who owns that disturbing web site that your child stumbled upon while browsing, and would you like to have some accurate contact information to complain about its lack of COPA protections? Or maybe you've joined the rapidly growing world of "always connected" Internet access and are concerned about whether your newly bought "firewall" software really has closed all of the entry ports to your system. Perhaps you're an ardent gamer who worries about "lag times" and would like to know where those game-losing extra milliseconds are coming from. Netquery can answer all those questions and more.

Each Netquery feature can be enabled or disabled individually by the administrator. Local execution and/or a remote server script can be used for the ping and traceroute features and are fully configurable. The administrator can also configure all entries in the whois and looking glass data tables to add, edit and delete Whois server/TLD associations and to specify both default and router-specific settings for looking glass feature execution. [Netquery 1.1 Manual]

Once again, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of all those who provided feedback on Netquery 1.0. Your input has been invaluable in our effort to provide a utility module that is both useful for end users and easily managed by administrators. Thank you.
