How do I get that the internet is connected?

[Misha]

so I tried doing _RunDos with a rasdial to see..but how do I get the output of cmd?

or maybe I could get _GetIp and if @error then its not connected..

Output in CMD is AFAIK easiest to catch with StdoutRead(). Check it's help. Also you can make it write to a file (like "dir c:\ > test.txt") and then reading in the file. There are multiple ways to reach your goal.

you could try to Ping ( address or hostname [, timeout] ) to a known reliable host (router, gateway, dns or whatever). It's not foolproof, but close. If you get a pong you're connected.

well 4 seconds if no respond then shot down script and software..is there a big chance of people to lag for 4 seconds?

Depends mostly on if the people in question are using dialup or broadband lines, if they are using a lot of connections at the time (read 9/10 times: are running P2P sharing software) and if they are using a firewall, router, proxy, whatever might fook with your connection

Well, you could check Jinxter's post for some suggestions to reliable hosts, or use www.google.com (which I have never found to be offline, always found to respond fast, and often use for the same purpose )

if u connect to specifi port ..

try change this code ..

if this app have tcp connection and need all time alive connection ...

$check = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c netstat -n', '', @SW_HIDE, 2)

$aa = StringRegExp(StdoutRead ($check), '(\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+:5666\s*USTANOWIONO)', 3)

IF IsArray($aa) Then

call("do_something")

endif

USTANOWIONO is polish word .. like connected or somthing like that

check netstat -n
