I need some guidance on connecting to the Internet from within an
application that uses a local area network(LAN). Using the ActiveX HTTP
control provided with Delphi 3, I am able to establish a dial-up
networking connection to the Internet and can download HTML files, but
the ActiveX fails when attempting to detect an Internet connection over
a LAN. (The HTTP ActiveX automatically initiates a dial-up networking
connection to the net.)
The problem is I don't know precisely how to connect directly to a LAN
using the ActiveX control or a native Delphi 3 HTTP control. What API,
interface, or protocol should I be investigating? Any suggestions of
books, web sites or components would be appreciated.
Much obliged.
