The answer to Question 1 is to have one object which is the 1st hop away from your 
machine and configure you UP dependencies.  

Up dependencies are where a  machine is only checked if the machine it is up dependant 
on is also up. 

eg 

WUGmon----Cisco----remotesys

if remote sys is UP dependant on Cisco and the connection between WUGmon and Cisco 
goes down, WUG will no longer check remotesys or notify you that it is down.  It will 
only notify you Cisco is down (if configured).

I have WhatsUpGold installed on a Windows 2000 machine that is connected to
the internet via a cable hookup. It is monitoring several remote machines on
our business network, and at this time we are only checking if the network
machines and/or routers are up. We have notifications to send emails and
beeper notifications if a device is down.

1. It appears that if the cable connection on our machine running
WhatsUpGold goes down then alerts are sent for all devices we are
monitoring, even though those devices may be up and running. Is there a way
to bypass the sending of alerts if the machine running WUG loses
connectivity?

2. We have a single modem on the monitoring machine and it looks like only
the first beeper notification is successful if a number of monitored devices
go down at the same time. Is this normal? Is there any way around this,
other than perhaps having longer trigger times for the beeper alerts to be
sent?
