On my network I run a proxy server on the PDC and Exchange on the BDC. Lately I have problems with ports shutting down on me.
My Internet stops passing traffic on port 80 with the proxy server still running, I have to reboot my PDC to re-establish an Internet connection. Now, while all this going, on my Exchange server continues to pass email from outside my domain, I test this every time the Internet goes down.
Is there something (software) I can use to monitor these ports, like performance monitor or something else. I want this program to be able to keep a history of all it monitors during the nights, because it seems to happen when I am away.
