Have written an application which shells out of a fox routine and calls up the browser. Fox hangs though if the user is not connected on line.

Does anyone know if it is possible for fox to check whether a user is on line or not?

Thanks

You could try escaping to DOS and run "ping hostname > tempfile", or "ping IP-address > tempfile"; then harvested the results from the tempfile.
