In addition to Remy's advice, you could try pinging a known web server 
using one of the many ping components around.  That way you really know 
that the connection is working.  I found the response from the other 
calls sometimes unreliable (ie. the connection can go down and it still 
reports that it is there).

Regards,
Mark
