Check Internet Connection

[Abaddon]

I need something to check and see if a dialup internet connection is on. For example, lets say I want it to show a message box saying its on if its on, and one saying its off if its off. Thanks again.

Do a search in the forum for 'internet connection' and I am sure that you will find something you can use.

There are two ways to approach this. 1) Ping(..) 2) DllCall

1)

$ping = Ping("www.google.ca")
If $ping > 0 then
    Msgbox(64, "Internet connection active!", "You internet connection is enabled...")
Else 
    Msgbox(16, "Internet connection failure!", "You internet connection is disabled...")
EndIfoÝ÷ Ûf®¶­s`¢b33c´46öãÔFÆÄ6ÆÂgV÷CµväæWBæFÆÂgV÷C²ÂgV÷C¶çBgV÷C²ÂgV÷C´çFW&æWDvWD6öææV7FVE7FFRgV÷C²ÂgV÷C¶çE÷G"gV÷C²ÃÂgV÷C¶çBgV÷C²Ã¤bb33c´46öå³ÓÓFVà¢×6t&÷ÂgV÷C´äò4ôääT5DôâgV÷C²ÂgV÷CµÆV6R6öææV7BFòFRçFW&æWB&Vf÷&R6öçFçVærgV÷C²¤VÇ6P¢×6v&÷ÂgV÷C´çFW&æWB6öææV7FöâfÇW&Rb333²gV÷C²ÂgV÷Cµ÷RçFW&æWB6öææV7Föâ2F6&ÆVBâââgV÷C²¦VæF

NOTE: Some of these scraps have been taken from various Example Scripts posts.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that Smoke_N does not encourage the dll call, it's not as reliable. See this explanation taken from MSDN

A return value of TRUE from InternetGetConnectedState indicates that at least one connection to the Internet is available. It does not guarantee that a connection to a specific host can be established. Applications should always check for errors returned from API calls that connect to a server. InternetCheckConnection can be called to determine if a connection to a specific destination can be established.
