It doesn't do that much. As usual for tcp/ip commands:

tcphelp ping

The reason I suggested it is that it will generate more traffic to your
ISP than will the DHCP Monitor.

It depends on the failure. What I would do to check connectivity to
charter.net

- open command window
- iptrace
- open command window
- ping www.charter.net
- let if run for a minute or so
- Ctrl-C to kill it
- switch to iptrace window
- press enter to stop iptrace
- ipformat >pingfail.txt
- review pingfail.txt for ideas

If nothing obvious pops out at you, email me a copy of pingfail.txt as an
attachment and I'll see what, if anything, I can see.
