2 edits | Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free As a new feature at this site we now have the ability to do group line monitoring. I have set one up for the Charter HSI customers.
You will see on the forum left sidelinks a link to the
Charter HSI Line Monitors. This service is currently free and will not result in any toolpoint deduction.
I have shamefully adapted/plagiarized the following from lilhurricane  as she has excellently summarized on how to set up line monitoring, if you have not already done so.
The FAQ for starting a monitor is here, if you don't have one already going:
»Line Monitoring FAQ
This is where you need to go to get setup & sign on:
* Sign-Up *
Make sure when you're done to click "Create Monitor"..make sure you are "pingable".
If you require additional instruction, we can help 
For those who are not already a part of this onsite, that are interested, please send me an IM to receive an invitation. Those of you that are..can add yours
You must click "Accept" when you get it for it to display here:
Charter HSI Monitors
Go to your profile page and add it to the profile +
»/prefs/flair
Use the drop down to add an entry to "My Home Connection"
That way your connection speed, modem, and router info show...

| Re: Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free Well i can't get it to work, i tried the programs listed but they don't seem to "work".
My only guess is they don't work with Vista, or line monitoring does not. Yes I disabled windows firewall.
Oh well. | |

| Re: Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free Nice, thanks for getting this together, the more that set this up the better it will be
Marko -- Yes that screen looks fine, all you have to do on your Router config is to be "pingable", in which you are according to that screenshot.
Did you try all of the DNS clients? I personally use DynSite, but I would find it odd that all of them not to work on Vista.
When you configured the DNS client did you get a successful connection update, etc?
Thanks again skj..

Does this look right?

So unless I'm setting them up wrong (likely) they not running for me. :P I really don't like being "pingable" though
UPDATE: I just put my IP address as STATIC since it never changes hardly. I just update it when it changes manually, easier than figuring all the programs out. :P | |

I just update it when it changes manually, easier than figuring all the programs out. :P Glad you got it working in one way or another.. The only purpose of the DNS proggies is so it is rather hands off,.. so you can always, 3 yrs from now still have your connection going,..
My IP rarely changes either, despite it being dynamic, but that is the nature of the IP pool from Charters DHCP in alot of places.
As for not liking 'being pingable'.. Why? It does not compromise security in anyway. At the very worst a group of people could do a DNS attack through ICMP headers and bog down your "home router" lol.. Very unlikely.
Are you often the target of someone? Having your IP exposed, which it isn't, unless someone is actively looking for it,.. is a likely cause for trouble ?
If so, I understand =)

Click on the "Setup" link and than click on "edit" on the right side of the page. You can than type in your "Note" in the "Public comment" box. Be sure to click on the "Update Monitor" tab when you are done.

| I only just noticed my post was moved. My apologies for the apparently OT post; the question was asked in the context of preparing for line monitoring and I thought it came under the umbrella of requesting additional instructions, per skj's original post. (may I plead brain melt with outrageous heat we're having???)
I'll follow up at the new location and then come back when I'm set up for monitoring.
Thanks. | |

The connection section setting up line monitoring asks for an email address for alerts. Is this something I should fill in and if so, with my address or something else?
Also I upgraded to a premium account, but the monitor is still under a basic account setting, does this matter? | |

| I'm with markopoleo as far as becoming "pingable." I keep remembering the time when the two Charter techs came out to install my broadband cable. Everything went well until one of the techs asked if he could hook up their cable box directly to my computer as they normally do (bypassing my router), so that he could show the new-hire how things are "normally" connected. About 20 seconds later my anti-virus program popped open a window warning of some sort of virus or trojan attack. That was the very first time that had ever happened, and although my software firewall caught and stopped the "attacker", I am VERY hesitant to make my router pingable.
Has anyone else using line monitoring had trouble with viruses, trojans, etc? Thanks. | |
