    Internet connection present?

    I have a partly produced VB.NET app that needs to 'know' when the client
    machine has an interent connection so that it can connect to a remote
    webservice.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks
    Andy

      Ultradiv,

      Yes set it in a try and catch block if it does not connect than there is no
      connection to that webservice.

              In VB2005 you can use My.Computer.Net work.IsAvailabl e, but as the docs
              say that only tells you if "a computer is connected to *a* network". In
              the long run, with proxies and network topologies and firewalls and so
              on, the only sure way to tell if you can connect to a remote webservice
              is to Try is and see. I mean, Try it and Catch.
