If you completely disconnect yourself from the internet, how long does it take to return the error message?

I implemented a check using ASPPING with some help from Paul Mrozowski (in this same thread) which works great to find if my FTP server is on-line. Unfortunately, if my internet connection is down, it takes a while to return.

Has anyone implemented a call to WINSOCK as suggested by Ed Rauh?

Thanks,
