Hi,

If you are looking to check network status for an active network
connection. You need to a reference to system.management.dll for this to
work.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_networkconnection.asp

Private Sub GetNetworkStatus()
Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection
Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher
Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_NetworkConnection")

moReturn = moSearch.Get
For Each mo In moReturn
Dim strOut As String
strOut = String.Format("{0} - Status {1}", mo("Name").ToString,
mo("Status").ToString)
Trace.WriteLine(strOut)
Next
End Sub

Here is a link to see if you are connected to a network that uses a
ping

Hi I just tried this and I am propably missing something but I can't
get it to work. I belive that the problem is when moSearch.Get is
executed, in the debug output i get the following: "The thread '<No
Name>' (0xc88) has exited with code 0 (0x0)"

Thanks
