Hey folks, I had a situation recently that our network went down and our Network Monitoring software did not notify us that the network was down because the internet connection went down. We had a problem with our carrier where they messed up on our /23(where our Network Monitoring software resides), when they did a maintenance. What transpired is our /23 was no longer routing to us. Is there a free ping internet service, or something that we can pay a company that just sends a ping to devices? If they fail to respond, then an email is sent to us? Thank you folks.

Let me ask this question from a different angle. Did you NMS notice the issue? If so, does your software require Internet to notify you? I use just a simple modem(remember those?<GRIN>), a pots line and qpage to send 'out of band' notifications. Lyle Giese LCR Computer Services, Inc.
