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,
Razzak.
