VB/Internet program

[vbfingers]

I am an average VB programmer and am Very green at VB/Internet programming. I would like to learn the following things are programmed into a VB program. I am looking and asking for some VB/Internet Wizards' help and am asking for their assistance in helping me do this?

The things that I would like to do:

1) Start up an internet session. (with error catching capabilities).
And invoke a URL to bring up a Web Page.
And have capabilities of setting a new URL.
Close an internet session.

2) Determine if an internet session is
going. with error catching capabilities.
Retrieve the following information:
A) My Internet Username
B) My ISP Name
C) Get current URL address
D) Modem Speed
E) IP Address.

3) With some documentations, so I can understand what is going on. Using Wininet.

Can anybody help, including Wizards??

Any help surely would be appreciated.

Some of those things are almost impossible to get via WinInet, for example it wont be able to get Your ISP's name. Modem speed, IP address, Username for Windows Login can be retrieved via the registry. If you want to know how to get some of these, let me know.

I dont know of way of retrieving the current URl for example...

Good luck
