The standard answer id to look at Nagios and Opennms http://www.nagios.org http://www.opennms.org Then again, for one machine these may be overkill. You could Cheops which does monitoring http://www.marko.net/cheops/ You can get it to ping (http, DNS,...) every (say) hour and trigger an action which will email you. Plenty of other utilities out there for network monitoring - just go to Freshmeat and search.
