I would like an application that will ping a location, even on a locale
network, if the ping doesn't return will cause the machine to peform a
reset. Why? I hear you ask. My router for some reason, if too many packets
(if that is what there called) go through it it causes the connection to not
respond on one machine, that i have an FTP server, and a mIRC bot.

Does an application exist? I have a piece of software that schedules resets
on the machine, so even if there was a .bat script that could be added to
the task scheduler to call that software, but as I'm rubbish with DOS and
..bat scripts, I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks in advance.
Paul.

Paul,

PingPlotter <http://www.pingplotter.com/>, the paid version anyway, will do
repeated pings, and its Alert feature will run a program based upon definable
ping responses, or no response. The native Windows "shutdown" command, or
"psshutdown" (free) from SysInternals
<http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml> could certainly be
called from the PingPlotter Alert menu.
