Pinging a given host won't tell you what kind of connection the local machine is using, nor will it tell you whether the connection is valid in the case of the specified host itself happening to be down at the moment. Not to mention that under some systems with dialup access, pinging an address will actually invoke the dialin, so again it won't be much use for detecting the presence of a valid connection.
