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

like this....................

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

While 1

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

if $IsCon[0] = 0 then

$Ask=Msgbox(4,"","Not connected to internet" & @CR & "Try again?")

if $Ask = 7 then Exit

else

Exitloop

endif

Wend

Msgbox(0,"","Connected")

Thanks for that.

What I am learning about scripting is that there appears to be more than one way of getting the job done. After quite a bit of trial and error (before you published your version) I found that this worked

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

while $iscon[0] = 0

$i = 0

do

beep(500,150)

sleep(100)

Beep(500,150)

sleep(100)

$i = $i + 1

Until $i = 2

Sleep(5000)

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

wend

Whilst it is waiting for the network it gives an audible signal just to let you know it is actually doing something

:"> Ant

Quick edit. I like your version as it avoids the$IsCon=DllCall statement appearing twice - Ant

yup, theres always other ways to do things,

how about this....

While 1

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

if $iscon[0] = 1 then ExitLoop

beep(500,150)

sleep(100)

Beep(500,150)

sleep(100)

beep(500,150)

sleep(100)

Beep(500,150)

Sleep(5000)

wend

Cool I'm just going to change it so that I can control the number of beeps based on an INI file setting.

great to get help from a cheers Ant
