You could use Ping(). I always use "www.google.com" as the address I ping because their servers are so reliable.

can you post an example

[James]

can you post an example

Erm why? There is a perfectly good help file. Look, I've even been kind enough to link you directly to Ping().

You shouldn't spoil him like that, now he will never learn anything!

Usually I just pull up internet browser and hit refresh. If something comes up then I'm connected, if page cannot be displayed, something's wrong. Or I look at my wireless icon

***disclaimer***

ignore this post, it was in sarcastic fun and humor

With me, everyone gets one present for being a newbie, two if they have sincerely tried to get an answer. I had plenty of help, and I got lazy - I bucked my ideas up though

why i tell you get simple example for ping

because i didn't know about ip or ping

you should give me little start for how to writ script

[kaotkbliss]

Baiscally something like:

$ping=Ping ( "www.google.com" )

if $ping=0 then

msgbox(0,"Error!",@error)

elseif $ping<>0 then

msgbox(0,"Success","You are connected")

endif

or....

from the helpfile and link provided previously

$var = Ping("www.google.com",250)

If $var Then; also possible: If @error = 0 Then ...

Msgbox(0,"Status","Online, roundtrip was:" & $var)

Else

Msgbox(0,"Status","An error occured with number: " & @error)

EndIf
