How to Check if Your PC Is Constantly Connected to the Net

Checking the status of your business Internet connection is important for troubleshooting purposes. Temporary disconnections and re-connections may affect your business website or the way your customer support teams interact with customers online. While Windows can tell you if you are connected to the Internet through an icon found on the notification tray, the icon does not update immediately if you temporarily lose your Internet connection. Pinging a website is a better way to check if your system is constantly online, because data is sent to the website every second and you will get a reply to tell you whether or not the data was successfully sent.
