Re: Not monitoring but I can ping it
There is no need for third party software - if your IP changes, you can always edit your monitor to reflect the new IP.
You just need to do 2 things when you set it up:
1) enter your current IP in the static IP box AND 2) check the "dynamic" box. You must do both.
It should look something like this:
--
TH ~ NE ~ EPN ~ NC ~ TD |

It seems as bad as naming your dog "stay".

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.
