Monitor network adapter

[user]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way that I can monitor the network adapter?

Windows pops a message when the network cable is unplugged/plugged in and I
would like to log this somehow.

Does anybody know if this is possible?

Many NIC cards have within their Advanced Properties box a
option that reads something like "Log Link State Event" which
will write connectivity lost events to the System Event Log.

Click Start, Run (Type) DevMgmt.Msc [Enter]
Expand Network Adapters category
Double-Click the primary adapter.
Select Advanced (TAB)
Scroll down the Property items, looking for the Log option

Many thanks for the reply, sadly my NIC does not have this option.

However I have found that an error gets written to the event log if I
plug/unplug the network cable so this should be sufficient.
