Program to ping multiple addresses at once?

I'm looking for a program that will allow me to ping multiple IP's at once (and perhaps graph or make a sound when a ping timed out.)

Also any good 'basic' network tools/software that is free or cheap.

Thanks!

Must say I would vote for Solarwinds products too, excellent recommendation, offers a lot more, but big price difference.

The best general purpose tool I've found is sam spade for windows, version 1.14. http://www.samspade.org/ssw/ It lets you resolve domains, ping, traceroute, and easily do forensics on email headers. I've also used cyberkit and netlab but now I just use ping, tracert and nslookup which are available on windows and Linux. Angry IP scanner is a nice network discovery tool for windows.

This seems to work from XP, Vista, or MS Server without having to download any software. This is for those just trying to find used IP's on your network. Remember to change the address to your network address.
