How to detect internet connection?

I posed this question yesterday in the Javascript forum with no luck. Has anyone got code on how to tell if you are connected to the internet either via LAN, or modem?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Take a look at http://www.vb-world.net/tips/tip27.html
It shows how to check if there's an active internetconnection through a modem. Only works on Win9x (and WinME I assume), because of how the registry is built in Win2k.
