My control panel "Network" mentions: "You are connected to the
Internet via Build-in Ethernet."
I have asked this before, but shouldn't there be a way to retrieve
this information?

I don't think anyone would think your app is phoning home via a
ping. Also, your computer uses pings all the time for things
without you knowing, so one or two extra wouldn't hurt.
Alternatively, try doing a DNS lookup using Network.LookupXXXXXX.
If that is successful, you can pretty much assume you've got a
valid connection. Of course, there is still the issue of your
router caching the address, so ping is the ideal way.
