Remarks

Firewall

InternetConnected uses a ping request in order to check the access to Internet. Therefore, the ping must be allowed by the security parameters of the network in order for the result of the function to be pertinent.

Remark: The ping is performed on the Google DNS (6 seconds, 1 attempt). The equivalent code is:

Ping("8.8.8.8", 6000, 1)
