    Apologies if this has been asked before! I'm having trouble with my broadband provider and am looking for some kind of connection monitor software to help me keep track of connection availability. It will need to be able to ping automatically at set intervals and keep a log of the results (I have found some monitors but none that log the results individually). It would also help if it was able to graph the results. Oh, and I'd like it to be free or pretty cheap!

    Thanks!

    I have spoken to Santa & he is organising it now, the elves are busy at the moment but will work to you brief and produce that exact piece of software for you within moments. They just want to know what colour interface you would prefer.

    i use mrtg, (http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/) for the graphing

    and use http://www.steveshipway.org/software/rrd/f_routers.html this as my front end.

    with this i can monitor bandwidth and ping rates daily,weekly, monthly for trend analysis.

    I use MultiPing. It's pretty good and lets you continuously ping multiple sites. Gives you a better idea of how things are. If it can't ping ALL the sites listed, then you have a problem. If it can ping all but one or two, then those sites have problems [generally].
