Hi, do you guys know of any free downloadable proggie that will keep track of the total time you're connected to the internet? My cable modem keeps freaking out every 10 minutes or so but I want to have a precise record for when I bring a baseball bat to the ISP's office.

Set up a little DOS batch file that will ping every x seconds/minutes and display current time.
Log the output to a text file.

::
:: turn off echo of commands to screen
@echo off

:: entry point
:loop

:: date stamp
date /T >> ping.log

:: time stamp
time /T >> ping.log

:: actual ping test
ping microsoft.com >> ping.log

:: delay if desired - unsure of this command

:: go back upstairs and start again
goto loop

:: output file will be ping.log in what ever directory you start this sucker up in.
:: change the ping target to whater domain / IP address you wish

Thanks, you are a scholar and a gentleman. Anyone know how to implement the "delay" command?
