I've seen this on XP systems already, they suddenly loose contact with the network and sometime 1 seconds and sometimes 60 seconds later they again have access to the network. I did notice this OUTSIDE of Servers Alive. (I have 3 ping windows open on my XP system, ALL THE TIME).

Just really annoying to get about 50-75 pages all saying "RUNNING" when a) there was no interruption that can be detected by any other means (i.e. outside monitors continue to run, I can be term served into the boxes in question when PING and other alerts fail, etc.) And b) annoying that we don't get the DOWN alerts first. (though like I say, I suspect that's because it can't find the email server by name, so we've changed it to IP address to see what happens.) >Dirk Bulinckx. >-----Original Message----- >From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Greg D.
