i have successfully set up a ping watch dog with it, but im thinking from a different angle.

if my network switch has only one port that seems to be glitchy, both of my network and 3rd party electrical ping watchdogs are satisfied. i want to ping my aduino to trigger a relay...

Does anyone know anything about setting up a case event when ping recieved... do this

Thanks!

You mean the switch is connectable but still needs a reboot to clear some glitch on one port?

Why not SNMP into it and request the reboot from the switch? Or set one of your tools to simply reboot it every midnight?

For the brute-force approach, get something like a PowerSwitchTail and interrupt the power to the switch.
