Check for Internet Connection?

[br4d]

Is it possible to check for an internet connection?

Thanks in advance!

use GetLayoutObjectAttribute(webviewername;"source") on a webviewer that loads google.com or something and check the result of the function to see if the page you specified did load.

You can find out how fast or slow your Internet connection is with our Internet Connection Speedometer. It works well , i have checked so many times...

Just wanted to post back here for others looking to do this. Here is the method I am using to do this and it is working great.

I am basically using an import data from XML test to verify if the internet connection is available and working.

I made a global field in a table called 'internet' then I made a XML file that has ineternet = 1 and placed it on an external webserver

Then I wrote a simple import script that does the following:

Set Error Capture [On]

Set my internet field to = 0 (meaning no internet)

import from XML via http

If the import works (which means the internet is working) then the internet value will be set to 1. If the import fails (internet isnt working) then the internet value will = 0.

This is working great for me. Hope it helps someone elso.
