Resets your network adapter for you when it sees the connection goes down.

Description and motive

For years I've thought it would be handy to have a simple app that disables and enables your network adapter when it notices your computer has lost connectivity to a certain host. I've never found an app that does that so I got fed up and made one.

In Nov 2015 a temporary, flaky point-to-point wifi connection was hindering our ability to work remotely. The time had come. Here it is.

Configuration

To configure it for you there are two options to change:

interfaceToCycle: this is the name of your network adapter

hostBeyondTheWall: this is the ip address or hostname that you want to periodically check to see if the connection is stil good

You could edit timeout for the ping timeout and waitBetweenChecks as well but I've seen good results with those default values.
