title: Script to start traceroute if continuous ping fails, output to log
body: <p>I want to continuously ping my home public IP address, and if the ping fails automatically do a traceroute to see where it's failing.</p>
  
  <p>I've been trying to follow the comments made here:</p>

  <p>Windows compatible would be preferable, bat or vbs would be best.  </p>
  
  <p>From anywhere on the internet I will lose my connection to my home network. From work I have started a ping and when it drops I've done a traceroute and it fails before it gets to my IP.</p>
  
  <p>I need a log file to prove that it is not my modem, or router, or computer.</p>
