This is the main functionality most people are looking for when they spend thousands of dollars on commercial network monitoring software. Why waste money? This is free. It has been greatly improved to greatly reduce false positives. It really is a first class network monitoring solution. </span><b> </b><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">INSTRUCTIONS</span><br /></div><ol><li>You need to open the alarm.vbs file and change the From and TO lines to the<br />email addresses you want to use for the alerts.<br /><br /></li><li>Next you need to find the line with "smtp.email.com" and change this to your<br />smtp server.
