Bah. I want instant gratification.

Try running FreePing to both your gateway and some distant server to
see if they're up or down.

Make sure your computer doesn't go standby, hibernate, or comatose.
Keep it running overnight. You can edit each entry to set how often

have a clue as to how well your connection is running.
