Here's the meat of your routine: ManagementObjectSearcher searcher= new ManagementObjectSearcher( "SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter where NetConnectionStatus=2"); foreach( ManagementObject networkAdapter in searcher.Get()) { connected = true; } searcher.Dispose(); Alex,

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher=
new ManagementObjectSearcher(
“SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter where NetConnectionStatus=2″);

foreach( ManagementObject networkAdapter in searcher.Get())
{
connected = true;
