I think that the environment is really just checking if the network xtras
are installed, ie:

-- Welcome to Director --

--first, airport, connected
put the environment.internetconnected
-- #online

-- switch to ethernet, not connected
put the environment.internetconnected
-- #online

--removed net xtras from movie xtras, but in xtras folder, airport on
put the environment.internetconnected
-- #online
-- restarted director, moved the netlingo folder out of the xtras, removed
xtras from movie 
put the environment.internetconnected
-- #online


I'm a little worried about this last one. I'd check with a standalone
without the xtras. It's like the member(x).thumbnail - works in authoring
but not in runtime.
