Script to start traceroute if continuous ping fails, output to log

Viewed 56052

I want to continuously ping my home public IP address, and if the ping fails automatically do a traceroute to see where it's failing.

I've been trying to follow the comments made here:

Windows compatible would be preferable, bat or vbs would be best.

From anywhere on the internet I will lose my connection to my home network. From work I have started a ping and when it drops I've done a traceroute and it fails before it gets to my IP.

I need a log file to prove that it is not my modem, or router, or computer.
