Thanks for your helpful answer.

>Look at :
>::IsNetworkAlive
>::InternetGetConnectedState and ::InternetCheckConnection

The first two functions seem to return the state I has asked for:
 for the fist a DLL seems necessary, 
  for the second a library included:
    #pragma comment(lib, "wininet.lib") 

In my case with them I can find out, if there is a connection between
my laptop and the dsl-network-router. 


More for fun as for need I cut the connection between the Internet and
the dsl-network-router, i.e. I could access to the LAN, but not to the
internet any more.

The result was, that both functions return a value, which means the
inernet-connection is correct.

Is there a better way to find out if the connection to the internet is
available than trying to download a small page/file from a site, known
as available.

[As said, I'm quite happy with the functions above, but tending to
make things as perfect as possible this would  be even better.]


Thanks,

Michael
