<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am looking for a suite of software, freeware, that willallow me to monitor a network grabhically.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Particularily a ping history that is saved on the fly should something happen to the network/pc that is running the software.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>at the moment I am running "ping a.b.c.d -t >> file.txt" but it give me a timestamp of each</DIV>
<DIV>ping so as to see at what time the network is failing or is there is some frequency to its failure. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, is there a USB OS that I could plug into tand boot from my laptop that would allow wireless capture of data to determine any issues happening on the wireless side of things.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The laptops are company laptops and stuffing around installing dual boot partitions is not allowed. If I could boot into a linux OS from USB and utilise the wifi card within the laptop to capture packets etc it would be of extreme usefulness. Maybe there is a winXP equivalent applicant that I can install? Wifi card works with Netstumbler fine, its just not a good tool for anything except signal/snr/etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
