Hi, I think you got wrong what Ping timeout means. Ping timeout: Is the time the ping program to wait before considering a ping packet lost.

I think the only posibilty to lengthen the status switch to Error is: Scanning Interval -->When a Sensor Reports an Error -->Set Sensor to warning for up to 5 intervals then set to down.

If the scanning interval is set to 3 minutes and the "When a Sensor Reports an Error" setting set to 5 intervals, PRTG will let this sensor go down only if the Ping is down for more than 15 minutes.
