How to find Internet Connection Status ?
http://www.autohotke...p?p=60892#60892

Function ConnectedToInternet( Flag )

ConnectedToInternet() should work with all Windows OS.

0x40 INTERNET_CONNECTION_CONFIGURED - Local system has a valid connection to the Internet, but not be currently connected.
0x02 INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN - Local system uses a local area network to connect to the Internet.
0x01 INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM - Local system uses a modem to connect to the Internet.
0x08 INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY - No longer used.
0x20 INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE - Local system is in offline mode.
0x04 INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY - Local system uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet

MSDN Reference: List of WinINet Functions

The Function:

ConnectedToInternet(flag=0x40) { 
Return DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "Str", flag,"Int",0) 
}

Copy-Paste-Try Example:

If ConnectedToInternet() 
   Msgbox, 64, WinInet.dll, ONLINE! 
else 
   Msgbox, 48, WinInet.dll, OFFLINE! 
Return 

ConnectedToInternet(flag=0x40) { 
Return DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "Str", flag,"Int",0) 
}

Here is an another method using an URL to ascertain Internet Connected Status :

URL := "http://www.autohotkey.com"

If InternetCheckConnection(URL) 
   Msgbox, 64, WinInet.dll  [%URL%], Connection Success!
else 
   Msgbox, 48, WinInet.dll  [%URL%], Connection Failed!

Return

; The Function

InternetCheckConnection(Url="",FIFC=1) { 
Return DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetCheckConnectionA", Str,Url, Int,FIFC, Int,0) 
}

I found an error in your ConnectedToInternet() function. You used:

ConnectedToInternet(flag="") {
If flag=""

The if statement is not an expression so the default value of 0x40 is never set (unless two literal quotation marks were passed). Using ConnectedToInternet(flag = 0x40) would be better.

However I find that calling the function with any of the listed values doesn't work :?

Dear Titan,

I found an error in your ConnectedToInternet() function. You used:

ConnectedToInternet(flag="") {

The if statement is not an expression so the default value of 0x40 is never set (unless two literal quotation marks were passed). Using ConnectedToInternet(flag = 0x40) would be better.

:shock: :shock:
Thanks for pointing it.

However I find that calling the function with any of the listed values doesn't work

Have updated ConnectedToInternet(). Please try again and let me know. It works now properly with my Single user PC with ADSL connection.

No it doesn't work for me :?
This version seems to work:

MsgBox % Connected()

Connected(fl = 0x40) {
	Return, DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "UInt *", fl, "UInt", 0)
}

However the flags seem to be ignored which is quite strange.

Dear Titan,

This version seems to work:

MsgBox % Connected()

Connected(fl = 0x40) {
	Return, DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "UInt *", fl, "UInt", 0)
}

However the flags seem to be ignored which is quite strange.

:roll: Yes! This version works for me.. I am too confused! :roll:

ConnectedToInternet([color=red]flag=""[/color]) { 
[color=red]If flag=
   flag=0x40[/color]
Return DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "Str", flag,"Int",0) 
}

Since 0x40 is a literal integer you can simplify it to:

ConnectedToInternet([color=green]flag = 0x40[/color]) {
	Return, DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "Str", flag, "Int", 0)
}

[SKAN]

Since 0x40 is a literal integer you can simplify it

Thanks! .. Done!

I would greatly appreciate help on these two functions..

The first one gives the same result on using any of the given flags.

The second one makes my program unresponsive till the function returns, but otherwise works well.

Could you tell me how to ?? isolate that thread (or do something better ;-) )

Thanks for your response.

There are two more options for you to try: IsDestinationReachable() and Ping

There are two more options for you to try: IsDestinationReachable() and Ping

Thanks SKAN very much!!
But the first one has the same problem i stated ( it makes my script unresponsive for the time of the call), please try to right click the taskbar icon while the call is in progress (upto 19 secs sometimes)

The second option just gives me unreachable inspite of being online! Am i doing something wrong (i even changed the URL to google.com)

Thanks again!

[SKAN]

The second option just gives me unreachable inspite of being online! Am i doing something wrong (i even changed the URL to google.com)

url=www.google.com
RunWait, ping.exe %url% -n 1,, Hide UseErrorlevel
If Errorlevel
     MsgBox,16,%url%, Destination Unreachable
Else MsgBox,64,%url%, Destination Reachable

For me, the above has been the most reliable and works for me in all OS.
Are you sure your firewall is not blocking ping.exe ? BTW, What is your OS ?

[shajul]

Sorry SKAN, now it works..
i checked it on the command line, the problem is the response is slow, so it times out before the response and returns an Errorlevel..
It is totally cause i am using BSNL EVDO!! It is supposed to be wireless broadband, but it is slower than dial-up :oops:

I have a broadband at my home, so will test it when i get back..

Thanks again!

[Kim Jong Un]

i tried that code and 

Spoiler

If ConnectedToInternet()
run, somesite i want to nuke, , 0
winwaitactive, class of the site i want to nuke
--some other codes here blah bl;ah blah
else
shutdown, 1

ConnectedToInternet(flag=0x40) {
Return DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "Str", flag,"Int",0)
}

my goal is to check the internet connectivity first the if yes, go that that particular website if not pc shutdown

can you pls tell me where i could go wrong?
