(I specifically need the internet, but a network connection needs to be preset as well for that... except for dial up? Gah.) So, from your collection experiences, what do you think is the best, most elegant way to check for a network connection or an internet connection? Should I just ping an address? And, sorry if I missed something obvious. M.T. ------ art_51571_23035984.1156960932596--
