Checkinet

[WhiteTiger]

func checkinet()
$f_con = DllCall("wininet.dll","Dword","InternetAttemptConnect")
if $f_con <> 0 then 
    DllCall("wininet.dll","dword","InternetAttemptConnect")
    $f_con = DllCall("wininet.dll","Dword","InternetAttemptConnect")
if $f_con <> 0 then 
    Return -1
EndIf
EndIf
$f_open = DllCall("wininet.dll","dword","InternetOpen","Dword","dwAccesType")
if not $f_open = 0 then Return $f_open
EndFunc

This will return 0 if connecton is good , else it wil return a systemError number :-)

i hope some-one might think its usefull :-)

It works here. In which cases it can be better than ping to microsoft or google?

[clearguy]

I'm not knowing much about dll's, but it seems to be a much better way to check the inet connection than ping or so...

Nice

If servers are down...

[NELyon]

What are the chances of both google and Microsoft being down?

Works fine here. Nice function

ok this is cool, but is you are not connected, it shd display as?

You call "InternetAttemptConnect" 3 times if ok connection?, but then call "InternetOpen" when no connection exists which opens a handle which you may need to close with "InternetCloseHandle". The UDF seems to be incomplete.

nope :-) it checks if there's is a connection , if it inst , it try's to connect , if it still isnt online then it returns an error , else it prepare's a connection , just in case windows doesnt do this automaticly :-)

and thanks for the nice reply's

lol good comment :applause:

[Richard Robertson]

Windows isn't smart. I think Windows needs an implementation of Alice. Then she could help people who have issues. That is what Windows needs.

[Valik]

But with Microsoft's track record, the only thing that would end up with issues would be the ALICE implementation and then the frustration from dealing with an artificially stupid operating system would drive people to other issues.

; $IsCon[0] = 0 not connected, $IsCon[0] = 1 is connec.

$IsCon=DllCall("WinInet.dll","int","InternetGetConnectedState","int_ptr",0,"int",0)

MsgBox(4096,"",$IsCon[0])

short and sweet

sorry, a type error corrected

Fully true.. Thanks white tiger

[WhiteTiger]

Fully true.. Thanks white tiger

no problem :-) just doing my job (hmm that doesnt sound bad , does it ?)

[anixon]

; 0 = not connected 1 is connected.

$IsCon=DllCall("WinInet.dll","int","InternetGetConnectedState","int_ptr",0,"int",0)

MsgBox(4096,"",$IsCon[0])

short and sweet

Very nice but how do you wrap around a while or do statement that requires the result to the dllcall to be 1 before continuing to run the script? Ant

Wow, new knowledge! I use _getIP!
