Connection Keep Alive

Here is a small utility i wrote which helps me remain connected, gives vocal notification when i disconnect and is capable of resetting my router in case the router needs restart.

Some reasons i wrote it

• Bad MTNL ADSL Connection , disconnects every few minutes.
• Using Ping was not really helping, ping worked but when http request was sent Internet disconnected.
• Could not find any utility giving Vocal Notifications.
• Could not find any utility capable of executing applications in case of disconnection/connection. I needed my router to be reset when i disconnect due to some XBOX Live issues.

Anyhow it was written in a weekend , and am using it now and some of you guys might also find it useful so am releasing it for free. This requires .net 2.0 + .

Some features -

• Configurable fetch sites and fetch timeouts.Uses HTTP fetch.
• Vocal Notification of connection and disconnection.
• Execute application when connection or disconnection takes place. Usefull when you need to reset router etc.
• Sits idle in status bar , with notification icon and Baloon Tips.
