I have a code a got off the Internet (RSS2HTML) that lets me check RSS feeds and write them into html using ASP on my Intranet. Is there any way, in ASP, a could check for an active internet connection before carrying this code out? This would then let the users of my intranet know why the page is failing due to no net connection.

active internet connection means client connected or whether your internet connection is active.

If it is clientconnected you can use
request.isclientconnected function this will specify whether the client browser session is active or not

isClientConnected will only test to see if the PC is connected to the server which may or may not mean that the user is connected to an outside connection.

Jim, to (basically) answer your question, there is no real way to test if the client is connected to the internet through asp. What you could do, is if your RSS feed returns a 404 type error then you know either A)the feed is offline or 2) the user is not connected to the internet so you could display a messgage accordingly (as long as you are able to trap the error of course)

Thankyou both for your help. dparsons, how would I go about trapping the error code?

Thanks again

Just to keep you informed. I have managed to solve my problem with help from another forum. Have a look at:

Thanks for your help anyway.

Glad you figured it out jim.
