This is by no means foolproof, and just based on my own anecdotal
connection issues, but you might consider checking your computer's
local IP address. If it is in one of the "self-assigned" ranges, often
that means you are connected to your router, but not to the larger
network. Of course there are many situations where this might fail,
but it is one common level of problems. I believe two common tip-offs
are addresses 192.xxx.xxx.xxx and 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
If you need a general solution, there are probably many layers to
account for, but you can at least try to detect the most common ones.
Not a reliable indicator. At least for home DSL or cable use, the most
common case is that the local computers will be assigned addresses in
the 192... range - routers which have only a single IP address allocated
by the ISP usually allocate from the 192... range via DHCP.
