    I want to make an app. to which automatically starts as soon as I connect my internet connection and calculates the time for which I was online. After disconnecting the software should automatically write the used hours in a file.
    I want to know how to detect that my internet connection is on?

    Please help me to get started.

    Thanks in advance.

    What you might want to do is put a timer and winsock control onto a form. Set the interval for like 60 seconds to save resources (unless you need accuracy to the second) and have it check if the local IP is something other than null/127.0.0.1/localhost. You can also do this other ways without the winsock control. I know I've seen it on this forum before.

    In dyndata in registry you could check for bytes received, which should be 00-00-00-00 if not connected...
    If you have my registry module you could use something like this:
    Code:
    Connected=RegVal ("HKEY_DYN_DATA\PerfStats\StatData\Dial-Up Adapter" & vbNullChar & "TotalBytesRecvd") <> String(4, vbNullChar)
    If not, you could download it from my homepage

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
