Archive: Internet is ON or OFF ?


Internet is ON or OFF ?
How can I SILENTLY verify if internet is working,
(because, sometimes, the server is online but not connected to internet. so, ping server is OK but ping google is not)
once a minute, and send a message box when ok?

Classic interface on win98.

I am pinging command.com /c ping 10.25.23.14 >list.txt and get the line of list.txt that shows te time but there is a black blinking DOS window.


Use nsExec to execute ping and you won't get a DOS window.


My 2 cents..

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Inetc_plug-in - 'head' method can give you both accessibility and file info (if packed to http header on server).


I don't know why, but there is a very good
feeling when little things like this are solved.

THANK YOU !
