RE: small device with IP address

Mikael ,

        Is there a reason you don't want to ping the Ethernet port of the router? I
think this would be more stable then any "HOST" on the network.

Subject: small device with IP address




Does anyone know if there is a device somewhere that is small, cheap, has
1 10mbit (or 100mbit) ethernet port and a small IP stack that enable you
to set ip address and default gateway on it (dhcp perhaps?).

I would like to put something like this at some customers to use for
pinging to see that the customer is reachable. Cost should preferrably be
in the $50-$100 range.
