Zounds. Last time this came up was in 2004: http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/win_tech_off_topic/message/35413 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.
