There is obviously something I don't understand because I don't see the problem :-( We simply test Network.IsConnected before trying to access internet. If true we continue - if false the docs say "sockets may cause a dial-up to occur". We are on fixed lines so there is nothing to dial, meaning that if we get false the network is down.

A machine can be on the LAN, but not necessarily reach the internet via LAN. So what would be a good way to test whether a machine is connected 'without' triggering dial-up in that case?

Thanks
