The most used way would be using InternetGetConnectedState API. An example can be found here[^]. Alternatively, you could launch the Ping command and capture it's output. If you can Ping Google, you're online :)

I would say that is not necessarily true. It depends on what you mean by 'working'. You could be connected but have DNS issues that would prevent a successful ping. I only say that because I did have DNS issues and ran into this often. :(
