Internet connection detect

[Darren Thomas]

Can anyone tell me how I can implement an internet connection watcher? or
get the state of an internet connection?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the help, but do you have too have resort to an API call to get
the connection state? I would have thought that the .NET Framework would
have supported this?

You can check your machine's connection state by checking the local IP
address. Once you get the address you can see if the address is the
loopback address, if it is, then you aren't on your network. Here's the
code:

Dim ipaddr As IPAddress()
Dim ipHost As New IPHostEntry()

ipHost = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName())
ipaddr = ipHost.AddressList

Dim x As IPAddress
For Each x In ipaddr
Console.WriteLine("IP Address {0}", x.IsLoopback(x))
Next
