I am trying to diagnose an intermittent fault in a customers house.
I need to eliminate the local network as being the cause of customers problems as their isp won't admit there is a problem with their service.


Is it possible to create a short-cut on a windows desktop computer that when double clicked.

-ping a specified address or range of addresses. 
-records the output/results into a .txt file in a specified directly with a time-stamp so that it can be read later.

The fault causes the connection to the internet to go down so I am not able to do this for them remotely and it happens at intermittent times so I am never there to run a ping test myself.

Cheers for help. I have made a .bat file with.

@ECHO OFF
:START
echo %date% >>ping.txt
echo %time% >> ping.txt
ping [ip] -n 3 >> ping.txt
echo --- >> ping.txt

The customer can double click the .bat file any time they are experiencing difficulties and it will add a log to the text file every time.
I will definitely look to see if there is a log within the router for DSL uptime and PPP.
