Funnily enough, a Google for “ping monitor” brings up a program called Ping Monitor!
Or the cheaper Speed Ping Monitor
Or there is some free VB code at freevbcode.com

@echo off
:: BATch file to PING an address twice, waiting five seconds before re-pinging
:: 	In its current form this BATch file will never stop; 
:: 		short of a restart or Task Manager End Process
	
:loop
:: ping twice, and check you get at least one "Reply from" message 
::  	(change if you want to test for "TTL=" or whatever)
ping -n 2 192.168.100.13  | find "Reply from" > nul
if errorlevel 1 net send USERID Ping of 192.168.100.13  failed
:: wait for 5 seconds, 6 pings, before trying 192.168.100.13 again
ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :loop

Change the time values round, the display method to ECHO, etc etc

You can’t use your method of having PING ping continuously, because you need a way to check the resulting message(s), and you can’t do this from within PING.EXE!

While using ping like that is usable to accomplish your goal, you might want to consider something like this:
‘Net Monitor v3.5
Monitor your Internet connection! This Power Tool perodically tests the web servers and e-mail servers of your choice, and attempts to download a specific page. It can also test connections to any computer on the local network, or on the Internet! It reports any errors that occur, so you can take corrective action.

New feature! The ‘Net Monitor can now send e-mail notifications of failures at monitored web sites and e-mail servers.

— Price = free.

R2,

I considered setting up Karen’s NetMonitor a couple of months back, when we were having ISP troubles at the office, but ended up with a conundrum: how do I get email notification when the ISP is down? As far as I could tell, her Mailer II program wouldn’t work with Windows Messaging. Admittedly, I haven’t gotten around to emailing her about this.
