Is there a program out there that:
You can install on Windows
Communicates with a server to check and alert you of there is a problem with your network connection
Situation: I have a server located off site, and I want to be alerted if it goes down. Obviously the CLIENT computer can’t do the alerting since it is not functioning, so I am relying on another to alert me of the problem.
Any ideas?
This may do the trick for ya…

Pay a small child to sit in front of it for you? Give them a mobile phone and keep them in credit, they would sit there for years! Granted your bills for credit would be huge!
You could try this app out. We use it in our hosting center:

Um, Nogg3r5… have you ever worked for any paramilitary group in a war torn 3rd world nation, or a newly developing one with numerous pramilitary groups?
write a simple script in c, to ping the server from another server….. if its down have it email your cell every x minutes until its back up
thats what we do.. but a little more complex, because it checks the ssh / apache / etc..
If the program stops sending signals… set alarm off, otherwise, continue running.
I think you can get a monkey for pretty cheap now adays… just train him.
I never use monkeys because they tend to be unpredictable, children are easier to take advantage off, all ya need is pay as you go phone credit and chocolate.
Why dont u just use a widget to ping the server?
