Detecting internet log file

[rogueattack]

Is there anyway to set something up to continually log whether there is an internet connection or not?
We're having problems with our ISP and I want to be able to show the Tech when and for how long the internet was out. I want to know if there is some was to make a log file that lists the time it can't find a connection and when it can.
Oh, I use FC4.
Thank you.

if you are using a router/modem check the logs there

Only logs my router makes are the Web sites that users on your network have accessed or attempted to access. No dice through that but thanks anyway.

Ok, SO I thought of something, as I'm relitlvly new to the command line, is there a way to make a script that looks for a connection every 10 seconds or so and if it sees a change from the last try, it adds it to a log?
What command would that be?

Interesting that you should ask - a couple of us are bashing out (eugh,pun) a script to do something similar in this thread. It will give you some ideas, but post back any queries you have here and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Thank you, this will really help. Just gotta figure something that should be pretty easy to find on google out, but I can do that tomorrow. I'll leave some results.
