RIPE Atlas probes? you just plug them intoa working network with DHCP and
away they go - I'd investigate why it doesnt work - RIPE expect probe users
to be technically proficient and that the networks that the probes are on arent
RIPEs to debug/troubleshoot. once you have a working one iy can do tests but
you then also have access to the testing system that they offer allowing you
to do on-demand tests for various things from probes around the world whever you
want - depending on how many points you have. I have a few million or so points :-)
