I don't think you can do what you want this way. In order to use the COM port from your code you must open it from your code (MSComm1.PortOpen = True). If is already in use by your internet connection you won't be able to open it.

Maybe you can look at capturing Windows messages being passed to/from the COM port. I don't know off-hand how to do this, but there should be posts on this site that would help.
