Useful idea (and made a small edit). Although some troubleshooting can be carried out via the probe's web datapage the only other option still appears to be the physical 'remove card, reformat, replace' one. I've noted in the past that the probe can be showing itself as 'down' when the link is demonstrably up (because I'm using it!) which puzzles me, and again begs the question of whether the probe can be 'nudged' or rebooted via a local IP call of some sort (cf. wakeup packet) if it appears to have a problem but the probe is remote from the owner.
