I do not expect that removing the .* would help - but hope that it will =)

No, I think that the only way to get to the bottom of this is to be able to capture a 
debug log for the failed connection.  That can be problematic if the failure is very 
intermittent.

Perhaps you could use a packet capture tool (like Ethereal).  Even with a decently 
configured filter you will get a large capture...  but then you will be able to use 
your WhatsUp Gold log to get your Down timestamp and then use that time to help locate 
the right packets in your capture.

Thanks Mark.  Understand.  I assume you see nothing here that might contribute to the 
intermittent successful scans.

This means "expect something that contains 0 or more of anything, followed by </html>

The .* is thus a bit redundant.

This would work just as well:

  Expect=~</html>

...given that you are trying to make sure that you are receiving the end of the 
webpage.
