Hi,

 

how can I check from the Netduino plus that there is an internet connection available?

 

At the moment I'm using the below code

 

  var request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.co.uk");
                    response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
                    if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    {
                        
                             //there is internet
                    }

A web request to google should usually work, unless the device is in a country that might block it.  For Microsoft Windows, they periodically do a simple web request as well.  It is described here:
