[You would think there would be tons of software to do this. A Google search showed tons of requests but no useful responses (and lots of links to website monitors which is not what I want.]
I am looking for a software utility (Windows XP, preferably free) that will monitor my outgoing home Internet connection. It should check the outgoing connection periodically and log when the Internet was unreachable and how long it was down.
Background: My Internet connection goes down periodically when I am browsing the web. What I am trying to figure out is if the Internet connection is going down whether I am using the computer or not.

Thank you SuperUser to at least allow search to FIND this question and all the answers!! Closed?? WHY?? ---- If you won't help, at least put a LINK to a place that WILL help answer this question. @fixer1234 you are NOT helping users by closing this question, or others like it, WITHOUT an alternative! Maybe I will debate this on SU-META someday... if I thought it would help and would not be a waste of my time. – DaaBoss – 2018-12-11T17:01:37.773
