%IsConnected% - Really checking connection??

[Mat]

Hey

I included that internet-connection-checker in a project and tried to test it by entering a web-adress which does not exist, like: www.jnbiuewffiwufpewfewuf.com.
Logically my "offline"-page should now appear, since I did set the following code:

%IsConnected%=Internet.CheckConnection("http://www.jnbiuewffiwufpewfewuf.com")
IF (%IsConnected%)
File.Open(open,"http://www.yahoo.com")
ELSE
File.Open(open,"%SrcDir%\offline.htm")
END IF

But this does not seem to matter. All I see is Yahoo.com even though the checker is being lead to nowhere... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

What's the error?

There is no error; it's just successfully detecting your Internet connection. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The CheckConnection action has a "fallback" URL that it will use if the URL you provided can't be reached.

It makes my system hang/crash every single time if I try to use it when offline. No time out?

mine times out after like ~2 minute..
im sure its been suggested, but the ability to set a timeout would be REALLY benificial.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
or at least lower the normal timeout to like 30seconds [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
