does anyone know of a utillity or way of timestamping ping outputs. amy trying to diagnose a connecton problem and a ping -t let's me know it's down but not at what time it's down or for how long.
Any help much appreciated.

Will this work: (requires compiling with autoit www.autoitscript.com - free)

;Open Log File
$Tlog=FileOpen ( "c:\pinglog.txt", 2)

;Loop
while 1
;Ping Address
$Tping=Ping ( "www.bbc.co.uk" )
;All one line
$Tstr=@mday&"/"&@mon&"/"&@year&" "&@hour&":"&@min&":"&@sec&" "&$Tping

;Write Log file
FileWriteLine ($Tlog,$Tstr)
WEnd

fileclose($Tlog)

;Write Log file


Time to go home - will check post tomoz.
