Monitor, locate, and identify computer-accessible local network or Internet devices.
Monitor the devices on your local network or the Internet to determine if they are accessible from your computer. Use it to quickly identify and locate networking problems. The program runs in the background and uses the ECHO protocol to ping each device at a specified interval. The main window displays the current status of each device, and a status history window can be accessed by double-clicking on the device name.
Does one job well - monitors the internet connection!
Pros
It's simple. If all you want to monitor is the reliability of your internet connection, this is it. Other "network monitors"are typically designed for testing every aspect of the computers on a large network - WAY too complicated.
Cons
No real cons. Works simply, easy to set up.
Summary
Two suggestions for the next version: Allow a shorter test interval following a failure - I.e, Test once a minute until it fails, then test every five seconds until it recovers. Record the duration of outages, log the elapsed time from failure to recovery.

Pros
I like that it gives you real-time network monitoring capabilities. It will tell you the status of any device on your network. You can also give items a name.
Cons
You have to know the IP Address and what type of connection it is.
