Network Monitoring

I keep getting drops in connection to a server that my PC is connected to 24/7. I'm not sure if it's the server side, or my network connection that is dropping out.

Is there any free Windows 8.1 compatible software that would sit in the background and log statistics on uptime, downtime etc?

Thanks, I've got WinMTR running just now (set to Google). What am I looking for in particular? #1 shows an ip address with 0% loss, but then there's some virginmedia stuff, some with 99% loss. :confused:

Been running for over an hour. Here's the screenshot.

I was reading it as 12% loss which I thought was bad?

Kind of, but not really.

The one that really matters is the last hop, if your loss gradually increases to the last hop then it's loss.

Losing 12 on the first then a few variable results is just hops not responding.

OK, must be the server. I'll test that.
Thanks.
