Hi Martin,

It sounds like you could do one or both of the following:

1.  Tweak normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval to make them long 
enough to miss your network problems:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service

2.  Use host/service dependencies to define and monitor the intermediate 
network gear causing your network problems:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostdependency
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#servicedependency

As you didn't specify your version or whether you are talking about the 
web interface or notifications, the above assumes you are using 
Nagios 2.x and that you are talking only about soft status changes visible 
only in the web interface and not talking about hard state changes and 
notifications.
