You'll want to add a host/service check that correctly determines if your internet access is up or down, then make that host the parent for your other hosts. To suppress notifications for hosts behind the parent when it's down, disable unreachable notifications for those hosts. See the documentation on Determining the Status and Reachability of Network Hosts. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
