How to detect an Internet connection?

I want to create an application which calculate the time of a Internet connection but I don't know how to detect it! Help me, thanks.

Not surprising since there is no such thing.
Connections only go from computer to computer. When you send email your computer connects to a computer. And it sends the email to it.
When you try to connect to www.yahoo.com your computer connects to a computer. It gets an address. Then it tries to connect to that address.
And every time I said 'connect' about there are very likely other "computers" involved in the transaction.
And if any of those devices fail then you won't connect.
Notice in the above that there is no "internet". There are just computers and connections.
So now that you know what is happening you will now know how to code your own solution.
Or you can provide more detail as to exactly what you are trying to determine so that a more specific answer can be given.

Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient!

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running?

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running. I can goto other sites when I open up explorer, but itunes just will not connect. Could someone assist? I have windows 7.

Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.

How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ADSL modem

I ,m new to Solaris. How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ethernet ADSL modem? will solaris recognise the ethernet modem?? I only have windows drivers for the ethernet modem. Where to look for info on this?

The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or <br>
Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
"Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

How to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone ?

Hi guys, Do you know how to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone. I have already made my own network, and I allowed sharing Internet , but it didn't work. Can you help me , please?

If your carrier provides the service, go to Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot. If you don't see the Personal Hotspot option, then your carrier does not support it.
Note that you'll have to pay for a 'tethering' data plan on top of your normal iPhone data plan.

Hi Theo,
There are several ways to implement this using simple timing features of LabVIEW. Two fairly simple methods are comparing system time stamps or using the Wait VI provided in the Timing palette. The time stamp comparison requires a little bit more programming, but can be included in your main program loop. To use the Wait function, you will probably need to construct a new loop parallel to your main loop. I have attached screenshots of these two implementations. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Applescript to detect network/internet connection?

I created a simple app using Applecsript to mount my iDisk volume on startup.
mount volume "https://idisk.me.com/username"
Works a treat and I use it on my iMac and Alu MacBook. However, there will always be a situation where I'm connected to a network, but not the internet - EG: My universities Wireless network, where I have to goto the student login page before internet access outside of the university system is granted.
So for the Applescript on my MacBook I want it to detect if it has an internet connection. I was thinking possibly sending a Ping to the idisk location. Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks
~Ben

Oh yes I am aware of the network icon rather than the iDisk icon. But I did it this way for security reasons.
If I had my username and password in the script then anyone who got hold of the script could just double click it and have full access to my iDisk. This way, the computer its running on must be connected to the corresponding MobileMe account for that iDisk.
I'm also not too fussed about the icon, I set a custom one (copy paste into the get info box) which thankfully remains persistant across all machines that connect to match the rest of the pack I downloaded. http://cavemanmac.deviantart.com/art/OLED-Drives-144076760?q=&qo= (if you're curious)
I also had no idea that Applescript automatically detected errors when doing a shell script. So on 100% packet loss it ended the script then and there.
Thanks
Works a treat

Detect enabled internet connection sharing (hotspot usage) on Windows Phone 8.1

My WindowsPhone 8.1 application displays the current network/internet connection (e.g. the SSID/connection profile when connected to a WLAN). For retrieving this information, I use the following snippet:
var ssid= ""
foreach (var connectionProfile in NetworkInformation.GetConnectionProfiles())
if (connectionProfile.IsWlanConnectionProfile && connectionProfile.GetNetworkConnectivityLevel() != NetworkConnectivityLevel.None)
ssid = connectionProfile.ProfileName;
break;
I'd like to show some additional info when the phone has internet sharing enabled (acts as hotspot). What's the most reliable way to find this out?

Hi Ronald,
I think there is no way to detect if windows phone enable the internet sharing, if you want customer know the current state, you can consider about this:

How to handle "no internet connection"?

My app just got denied approval from the App Store. Here is what Apple said:
"The application works fine when connected to the Internet, however, when no Internet access is available (for example, in Airplane Mode), the application crashes upon opening. Instead of closing by crashing, the application should handle the absence of network access with an error message. The crash logs are attached for your inspection."
How do I detect no internet and then throw an error message up? I have never done anything like that before. Some sample code would be nice. Thanks!

How to share broadband internet connection on Satellite A200-1VG

Hi,
I am very new to the world of laptops, 3 days old. In fact, I have a desktop (the OS is XP professional) and have just bought my self a Satellite A200-1VG (the OS is Vista).
I believe it is possible for 2 machines to share a broadband connection, but how I do not know. I must confess to being quite ignorant when it comes to technology ( you have probably gathered that by now) and I ask that any advice given will be given in not too technological language.
Thanks in advance from a newbie.

Okay, firstly some routers or mdoems come with 2 ports on the back so you can connect two different computers so simply plug them both in
if not, then i advise you buy a router which allows you to add numerous computers to the same network via wires or add numerous computers wirelessly
i have one computer connect to my netgear router -wired
i have one computer wirelessly connected with a Netgear USB wireless reciever
then i got my laptop which is connected via wireless
i have xbox live which i connect to the internet via my laptops wireless connection, this can be done with any pc or laptop aswell
what you do is
wireless networks - where it showws any detected networks
change advanced options - on the side
advanced tab
then allow other computers to use this computers internet connection
simple as
all you do is plug in your other pc or whatever

How can I share internet connection of iPad?

Under the following considerations:
- An iPad3 has established a 3G/4G data connection.
- There is a wireless access-point working.
- iPad is connected to that wireless access-point.
- There is a notebook (or desktop whatever) also connected to same wireless network.
... is it possible to share iPad's internet connection across the network and how?
Important note:
I am not looking for iPad to perform like a wireless hot-spot. IMHO I am looking for a gateway/router application for iPad.

You can't.
If you don't want to use your local WiFi you could try using a mobile phone that allows you to create a personal hotspot.

LELA Not Detecting an Internet Connection, yet is connected?

I use a WRT54GS wireless router, and recently it's been going slow. I went to go restart the router as we had to so many times before, and realized that the internet was not connected(or at least, that's what it said). So I figured, oh, that's why it's not working! After going through the restart process 3 times, I still couldn't connect. I looked down at my taskbar and it said that I had an internet connection. So I clicked on Internet Explorer and to my surprise I was indeed connected to the internet.
So now, I sit here typing this, on the computer which is supposed to have no internet, and cannot send an internet connection to any of my other wireless devices because LELA says I have none. I've tried reseting the modem and all that, but to no avail. Any help as to why this is?

Thank you very much jscell and Dr. Clap
No, because that is a conceptual rather than a realconcept<
I tend to disagree somewhat � it is a conceptual as
well as a very real concept. I am using this concept
and it works(still in the trial phase though). The
only problem is the pop-up Windows dialog box.Yes but you computer doesn't connect to the "internet". It connects to another computer. That is all it can do because that is how IP works (tunneled or not.)

If you want to monitor traffic via java then youwould have to use JNI.<
Thanks for this. I�ll have a look at this. A piece of
code to get me started on this would be appreciated.I am not sure it exists. But if you want you can look at http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html
>
And you should be able to configure it so that itdoesn't ask you, but just automatically makes the
connection. How?<
Yes Dr. Clap, you may be right. I was hoping there was
somehow a way out without fiddling around with the
property settings. I am sure there is, but not in java. So doing it in java would require JNI (and a lot of digging to figure out how to do it using the windows C API.)

How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
Thank you very much

Hello,
First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.
