676388 2008-06-07 20:56:00 Hi,
I have a ADSL connection (ISP is Xnet). the connection is dropping out a lot lately and it is getting to be very annoying. Does anyone know of a free internet connection monitoring software?

I don't need a speed check or bandwidth monitoring, just something simple that logs when my connection drops.

Cheers

676390 2008-06-08 19:35:00 Thanks wainuitech,
But its way to complex and not really what I want.

My ADSL connection is used by several other computers/people and traffic varies through out the day.
All I want to do is log the times when the ADSL connection is not available to the network. Possibly something that pings a couple of sites and logs when they don't reply.
