I have a question about the command GETPROPERTY APPLICATION

What exactly is this testing for ? Will it tell you if you can
actually reach an
external web address or does it tell you only if you have a LAN
connection, but
not necessarily can connect to an external site. If it is looking
externally, what
exactly is it testing to give you the result.
I wanted to test this but can't really take my company off the
internet to see the
result. I actually do not care about the external internet, but more if it is
connected to a LAN either via WIFI or Patch Cable and then
specifically if a connection
to a specific machine is able to be done. I am using external bat
files with net use
commands and then testing (chkfile) for a specific file in the path
of the net use I set
up, but it would be nice to not have to launch external bat files
that can get snared in
Antivirus. When i saw this command I was not able to get any
specific documentation on
what the results specifically mean.
Frank,
Here's the secret behind the implementation of "ISINTERNETCONNECTED".
It will check first if there's a possible connection path (e.g. LAN,
WiFi, Modem, AutoDial Modem, ...). If one is detected it will try
connecting to Google via HTTP. Function returns True only if a
connection to Google was established
-- Example
SET VAR vResult TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY APPLICATION IsInternetConnected vResult
vResult = YES (if connected to internet)
vResult = NO (if NOT connected to internet)
You don't need to take your company off the internet to see the result!
Very Best R:egards,
