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.

In-case of ideas or bugs post them here .

  • Hello thank you very much
    But I have a problem
    when I start my computer and the router is launching ( even if router already launched);it can’t wait a while between checks; I added wscript.sleep in the script but; your program launch the script over and over in the computer startup (36 instance of wscript and cmd) in an unstoppable way:So that make me kill the program by process explorer to have the control back
    the problem is that the program doesn’t connect in the first millisecond so it display disconnected and launch the script; it connect after 4 second so it will launch about 40 times the script before connecting before displaying connected
    the option retry is set to 0; and interval of connection timeout doesn’t apply here
    Thank you very much; and i will be glad if you can answer me ; please send me an email notification also
    Thank you again.
