I'm rather fond of a shareware program called PingPlotter. It's
probably not exactly what you imagined, but I think it will actually do
a nice job of recording the performance of your connection, and provide
clues as to whether the problems you're experiencing are local, within
your ISP, or perhaps further afield.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Monitoring Cable Modem connection
From: Doug Simmons <[log in to unmask]>

I think this is the right forum for this question:
I need a program or utility that can keep a lit (log?) of when
Internet connection is connected and disconnected. It would need to
work through my router to "look" at the cable modem at some small
interval to detect if the cable modem is connected to the cable
broadband.
I am using Windows XP SP3 connected to a wireless router which is
connected to the cable modem. The network doesn't drop connection to
my PC's but they can't get to the Internet through the broadband
connection.
The reason I would like this monitoring program is that during a
period of period of about 3 hours around noon, I cannot get to the
Internet from any PC and can see that the cable modem is not
connected by it's indicator lights. It comes and goes, maybe in 3 to
15 minute intervals. I'm not able to get the cable provider by phone
when it is disconnected so that they can look for a problem. Of
course every time they come out to look at the lines all is OK and
can't find any problems. I thought if I could show the down times
they could help locate what the problem is.
Any programs any one knows about to do this?
Doug
