Zounds. Last time this came up was in 2004:

At that time, Adrian Bateman said:

  The InternetGetConnectedState function is mis-named. What it actually does
  for you is tell you whether, if you try to make a connection using other
  WinInet APIs, the user will get a dialog box asking them if they want to
  connect to the Internet. You can use it in the situation where you want to
  attempt a connection to see if you are connected but don't want to prompt
  the user if you're not.

Just because you're not connected to the internet doesn't mean you
don't have LAN connectivity....

Good luck,
Herb.
