I've been using the following function with success. It returns TRUE if a connection is available, and takes less than a sec in either case: BOOL Online() { DWORD dwState = 0; DWORD dwSize = sizeof(DWORD); return InternetQueryOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECTED_STATE, &dwState, &dwSize) && (dwState & INTERNET_STATE_CONNECTED); } Credit: I got this from Paul Dilascia's column in MSDN mag a while back.
