Hi,

I'm writing a VB internet-enabled app and no matter what I do I can't my app to correctly identify if the computer is logged onto the Internet if the dial-up being used is AOL. I've tried numerous different methods, using API calls, the winsock control, the inet control etc. etc. OK, I can call a web page using AOL (using wininet.dll for instance) but if it's not connected it can take ages for the app to come back and say it's not connected, e.g. about 2 mins. This just isn't good - I can't expect people to wait that long.

It works fine for all other dial-ups, lans, cable modems or adsl lines but not for AOL.

Anybody got anuy ideas? This is driving me round the twist.

Cheers

Gareth
