Network Utility

Thanks for pointing that out.

For now, it looks like you could use the Terminal for some things, really geeky though.

I see these "Network Utility" commands available in Terminal

netstat -- show network status

ping -- send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts

traceroute -- print the route packets take to network host

whois -- Internet domain name and network number directory service

finger -- user information lookup program

Use the man [manual] command to see details: "man netstat", "man ping"…

and to see other network commands in Terminal that may be of interest, try

apropos network

Barring that, I would search the App Store to see if there are replacement Apps that work for you.

Since, for some reason, Apple deprecated the Network Utility app, how can I not check and verify the various Internet connections, ports, routing, etc?

The app was a user friendly basic app that should be restored.

Thanks for any feedback.
