I have not found a complete solution yet though. So what I am doing is using the same function you do first to determine if a connection is configured, and then I ping a known server that is up 24 hours a day. If that is not reached I ping another system through a different route. If I cannot reach either, then I assume the connection is down. This only works if you have an ip address you know should always be reachable though. I guess they could try to reach the required system and if unsuccessful, you'd know its down. I'd like a single solution instead.
