VB6?

VB.NET?

If VB6, Use this

Private Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION = &H1
Private Declare Function InternetCheckConnection Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "InternetCheckConnectionA" (ByVal lpszUrl As String, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 2001
    'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
    'E-Mail: [email protected]
    If InternetCheckConnection("http://www.allapi.net/", FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "Not connected ", vbInformation
    Else
        MsgBox "Connected", vbInformation
    End If
End Sub
