Network utilities suggestions please.?
Hi there... I'm looking for 2 very simple programs. I've checked download.com et al, and haven't seen anything suitable.
1. I'm after a program that will sit there and do nothing but periodically ping an IP address, say once a minute, all day long. And then it will flag up when a connection fails (i.e my Orange Broadband goes down).
2. Another program that (much like MMC does), will give me a list of files currently accessed by computers in my windows workgroup (The MMC's section is great for a once off check, but I want BIG, "This file is being accessed my such-and-such computer"
Many thanks.

1. EasyPing is a handy Networking tool, that combines Ping, Trace route and Net Stat functionality packed in a simple to use graphical interface. The program is designed to facilitate network troubleshooting and allows you to run trace and ping operations at the same time. Features include audible notification when ping status changes ( e.g.: responsive to non-responsive) and the ability to save any of the results to a file in RTF format. Once loaded EasyPing resides on your taskbar.

Not to sure on this part; check the site, it's got acres of net admin. tools.
LanSpy is a network security scanner, that allows you to gather information about machines on the network. This includes Domain and NetBios names, MAC address, Server information, Domain and Domain controller information, Remote control, Time, Discs, Transports, Users, Global and local users groups, Policy settings, Shared resources, Sessions, Open files, Services, Registry and Event log information (Administrative access is required to gather all information). In addition, the program runs a port scan, using a customizable list of TCP/UDP ports and returns header information from web servers.
