HI all. I'm getting complaints from one of our remote sites that they're experiencing periodical lost of network connectivity, but the internal lan is fine. I have already pealed through the lan and determined that the problem lies in our internet connection. We're running 768k DSL off this site and I'm looking for a way to have the server monitor the connection and throw data out there every 2-5 minutes to see if there is a connection and if not, record the time and date that this happened. I want to create a log for the next 48 hours to see if this is just a hickup or a real problem. ISP says nothings wrong, but I had a similar issue from another location earlier last night as well, but it seems to have cleared up. Basically I'm trying to see if it was a hickup in the internet or if I've got some bigger problems to deal with through our local providers. It just seems odd that two different providers would have network glitches like this in the same night, but at slightly different times. Any suggestions on how to do this would help. I'm not going to setup a cron job to do a ping every 2 minutes. That won't tell me much of anything. I want something a little more detailed.
