Is there a tool that I can put on each of the 3 computers we have here at work to monitor the connection to the Internet and/or router? I'm having issues and I'm trying to pin it down to a cord, computer, router or cable modem.
I don't need anything fancy, I envision a daily graph showing when the computer could connect to the internet and when it couldn't.
Any Ideas?

The computer in question had 1300 disconnects in a 24 hour period. I have an electronic thing that checks cords and the cord is fine. I switched to wireless and I have no disconnects.
I don't want to go wireless(for various reasons), so now I'm suspecting the Ethernet port. Am I going about this right and if so, what next?

Did you swap cables? Both at the patch panel/switch and from the wall to the pc?
Also try another switch port. These are quick things to test. You can also purchase a new NIC. Depending on the age of the computer the card will be pci or pci express.

I ended up having less errors when I went wireless on all the machines. Doesn't make much sense.
