You can check the network connection other ways too. Here's one I use on
my Win32 machine:
on checkNetStatus
-- hide shell activity from user
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
-- ping a host that should always
-- visible to your computer
get shell("ping 24.10.72.1 -n 1 -w 200")
-- isolate the status info
put lineoffset("% loss",it) into x
set the itemDelimiter to "="
get word 1 of last item of line x of it
-- tell somebody!
if it <> 1 then
answer "UP"
else
answer "DOWN"
end if
end checkNetStatus
Regards,
Phil
