Hello again. I'm on a 20 Mbps cable connection. These past few days, my connection has been dropping intermittently (which is especially annoying when you're in the middle of an instance). It'll go away for a minute or two and then come back. While I investigate this, I'm wondering if you know of any broadband logging tools which ping various sites at regular intervals to see if the connection is up, and then log it to a file. I'd like to keep this running for a few days to see when it does go down and then talk to my cable company about this.
I've had a look at WNRTool (But it needs me to install PHP and other modules which I'd rather not) and WatchWAN (which doesn't work on Windows 7 or in any of the compatibility modes).
Any other you know of? If not, I'll write my own.
I'm also going to
1) Restart the router/modem
2) Change Speed/Duplex settings from 100mbps back to Auto Negotiate
3) ???
4) Profit.
Any other suggestions, do let me know.
