Re: Not monitoring but I can ping it
Even though I am trying to monitor a STATIC IP and the setup specifically says - or - I will follow your suggestion and click DYNAMIC
It seems as bad as naming your dog "stay".

Tucson, AZ | Glad you liked it, just out of curiosity, what does "IP from this DNS" mean ?

No it did not solve the problem.
Choosing Static AND Dynamic seems like random button pushing to fix a problem.
I deleted my account and will try to set it up again from scratch.

| Sorry that didn't work. I do know that you need to check the Dynamic IP and complete the "Monitor this static IP" for the monitoring to work even when you have a static IP.
One more question - Are you using your IP address or your router's IP address? You should be using your IP address not the router's IP.
Try going here: »whatismyip.com/ . That is the IP you should be using for line monitoring.
Second question - Do you belong to any of the Line Monitor Groups on the site? If you do then the monitoring is free, if not then it will cost you 0.25 tool points weekly for the monitoring. If you don't have tool points then you can't monitor.
