Hi, is it possible to indicate a connection to the internet (WIN98/NT)? I want to run a vi, when for example Outlook Express makes a connection to the internet. Thanks, Chris
I've not tried this myself, but if you look in the ActiveX class "Microsoft Internet Controls" you see InternetExplorer; this has a property "Offline?" that returns a boolean. Since I'm not using DUN I can't verify whether or not it has the functionality it implies!
A less elegant indirect alternative would be to have a VI running continuously that periodically tries to ping a known address- perhaps the gateway you use with your ISP.
