The package is called gnome-nettool and can (if not already) be installed via the terminal or the Ubuntu Software Center.

Look for it on the Unity dash

In older versions of Ubuntu there was this "Network Gui" program that had a whois option, Tracing, pinging and all the terminal commands for network but in GUI. If I can recall, I think it was before Unity came to play, maybe before 11.04. How can I, using 11.10 with Unity (Do not want to use Gnome2 or Gnome3, just Unity), get to this Network swiss army program or what package installs this program.

  Sorry LnxSlck I do not remember the actual name but I know it was a program that had several network options.

OMG yeah It was that one. I can't believe I didn't type network in Dash. I was typing whois and stuff like that. I may be ill in the head.
