Hi to all,

Is there a way that my xBase program checks if the computer that is running
on, has access to Internet ? And, if not connected, to prompt the user for
connecting to internet ?

I am writing a small mail client, with no use of asinet classes, only asinet
functions.

Regards
Vagelis

Vagelis,
why not trying to ping a server you know to be alive (like
www.microsoft.com)?
If the ping cannot get through, it is most likely that the pc is not online
(you could have a problem, so if your customer is running a firewall. In
that case he he can also disable pinging of pcs outside his domain).

Regards,
Martin
