ah, I was thinking that they were always failing rather than always
succeeding. Here is an updated exe to try, seems to work correctly now

So assuming ping3 is basically working could you try a couple of ideas:
try using the ip of slimserver rather than the domain name
try with or without the trailing slash.
When you get a fail, go back to the edit screen for the device and down
the bottom there is a Current status line. One of the lines next to it
will nave a number in brackets. That number is the http result. Success
is 200, not found is 404 etc.  Could you let me know wheat you see?

I am looking it to your request to monitor dns/ip changes, just having
some issues in how windows keeps caching dns. Also the winhttp error,
it's nothing to worry about and I've made a change to the build process
so it should re-occur with the next msi release. Thanks for letting

for example, i have an internal server running on port 9000.  if i put
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xyz:9000";>http://xyz:9000</a> in the "ip
address/web page" field, ping doesn't seem
to pay attention to the port number.  does it not do this or is my
syntax wrong?

if i try tcp type and put my server ip in the ip address field and
9000 in the port field, it fails. in this case, i'm using slimserver
on port 9000.

thanks.
