ping command

Appreciate in advance any help on this

You'll no doubt need to use the -t option. Ping the specified host until stopped!

ping -t "target" > c:\temp\test.txt

test.txt will be a pretty big file after 8 hours!!!!

You could run a batch file and add time tagging so you know the time if a ping fails:
:LOOP
ping 192.168.0.1 -n 1 >> c:\temp\test.txt
time/T >> c:\temp\test.txt
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 10000 > NUL
GOTO LOOP

The fourth line adds a 10 second delay so the file doesn't get too huge.
