I need a way to tell when there is an internet connection no mater what kind. There are a lot of examples out there, but they just don't work right. I want to tell if there is a connection no mater if it’s Dial-up, AOL, Cable, DSL, whatever! Just like all the programs out there do. Like AIM for example; It knows pretty well when there’s a connection and when there’s not.
Also, getting just an IP address doesn’t cut it. I've tried these things out there. I got cable and I run these examples on a timer, I pull the plug on my cable, all the other programs shut down, but the examples (More then just one I’ve had a few) STILL ARE SAYING "ONLINE"! I don't know how to do it can anyone help?
