Please log in for more thread options I'm looking for a freeware/shareware program (or something built into Windows XP?) that tracks the history of a DSL connection for many hours. I'm trying to track intermittent outages without having to be at the computer when they happen. The history log should show the exact times when the modem was disconnected and how long it took to re-sync with the central office. I've found seveal apps that don't quite do what I'm after. They just stop or crash when the connection is lost. Thanks for any info. JT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options jack@beanstalk.net (JT) wrote in Don't know who makes your box, but there's a remote chance that it's keeping a log internally. For example, my Actiontec GT701 has one that you can see via its Web interface at <gateway>/cgi-bin/webcm?getpage=../html/syslog.html
This log is not mentioned in any document that I've ever seen; I found it by accident. If you can telnet into the box, take a look around. -- Bert Hyman | St. Paul, MN | bert@iphouse.com | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe it depends on what version of firmware you have installed; I have the latest from Qwest's support site. I'll check again at home this evening; maybe I transcribed the URL incorrectly. >> jack@beanstalk.net (JT) wrote in

Thanks. I'm also running the latest firmware from Qwest. I also telnetted in but could not find the syslog you referenced. Perhaps you can find the directory path to it.
