How to detect the connection status to the LAN

Hi, You can also use WMI classes to check for network connection if you are using Windows 2000 or XP. Another option is to use the Win32 API function IsNetworkAlive() via Interop. - dip

Here is a Ping utility from Planet Source Code. If you can ping, you have connectivity. If you can't ping out, you probably don't. Ping can use an internal or external IP address depending on your need. http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=1509&lngWId=10
