Ok, That answers my question on this function... I will file a "it would it be nice" request to get the result of the first part only (Do you have a network connection path)...

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!
