I need to make an app that will check when user connects to the internet 
and start tracking the amout of data being sent and received through 
internet connection for billing reasons, but I don't know from where to 
start.
I know that my application must start with windows, and I have to use 
timer to check if connection has been established, but I don't know how 
to check for connection. And also I don't know how to track received and 
sent data.
Please any suggestions, tutorials, or help. thanx in advance.

Writing a service is best for that.

No, you do not.  Look at WinPCap (http://www.winpcap.org) for tracking all
network activity to/from the machine.  No timer needed.
