greetings,
my broadband internet connection goes down multiple times a day with my provider giving me a run-a-round.....so, i started logging in all the times that it goes down (that i know of and when i am home) on paper....is there a program that could "record" this data for me 24-7?..what i mean is, a program that can record the time connected to the internet and when the INTERNET CONNECTION goes down?....thanks!

well this is all i have. if some one can help. it starts the first one but the secount one it fails.

Code: 
@echo off
call wait 10
echo ######### >> "%USERPROFILE%\ping output.txt"
date /t >> "%USERPROFILE%\Ping output.txt"
time /t >> "%USERPROFILE%\ping output.txt"
ping -l 1 ask.com >> "%USERPROFILE%\ping output.txt"
start ping.bat
exit

.........it's all greek ta me!...as long as it will log (so-to-speak) when my net connection falls off and when it reconnects and do it automatically, would be fabulous!...look, don't kill yourself doing this as i can keep placing this on paper (as long as i am home).......thanks again!!!!!

no it is simple. it is just not working :D i hope some one on this site will know what i am doing wrong. all it is it is will ping a website and record the time and date to a output file. and restart itself. here tho. if you want it now. i can give you one that pings continuslay but it will not record the time and date just if the internet fails.

.....i wish i had a clue as to how to write a program....didn't have this in school when i was going...at any rate, if you can "complete" it so that i could look at it and tell what time the net connection went down and resumed or even how long it stayed down and maybe have an "adjustable" setting that i could adjust the frequency of the pinging, that would more then i could have hoped or asked for!....thanks!...keep in touch sir!:cool:

If your router has a logging function like my Linksys does, perhaps that would work.

.....what i would like is to have a ping adjustable or continuous (whatever you people deem best) and have it somehow log the day-date-time the net connection went down and when it resumed.....
