Hi Ed!

Well, I coded this thing up and while my previous code always produced a "not connected" response, Using "InternetGetConnectedState" always produces a "connected" response!

I am behind a Proxy, here, but the flag value returns "2" (LAN).
After disconnecting the network cable, turning off the Proxy in Control Panel and rebooting the machine, the results were exactly the same - now I'm confused!

Could this (and the previous error for that matter) bear any relation to the fact that IE is NOT my default browser (although it is installed)? Where could I find some more information on WININET.DLL and it's internals, including where it goes to look for the information before generating the response?

Sorry to be such a bother, but I am under something of a deadline here.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Terry
