The two functions on that page, SCNetworkCheckReachabilityByAddress

see if the computer has a connection? Check to see if say Amazon are
contactable and from that assume that the machine you're on has a
connection? That's really crap I reckon. Surely there's a reasonable
way to find out if the machine is currently connected to the net or
not (OS X 10.2+)?
How do you think it could work otherwise? What does "connected to the
internet" mean to you?
Sure, your computer can detect that it is connected to an IP network
without having to ping some host on the Internet, but that's probably
not what you're looking for.
Yes it is -- that's what I'm after (if "IP network" means the
internet). I want the same info as the Internet Connect app has -- it
displays "connected" or "disconnected". I'm also after the same info
that the Internet Connect app makes available via AppleScript
(specifically time connected and speed) without having to use
AppleScript and open the Internet Connect app if possible?
Thanks, Ben.
