Private Const NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL = &H4 'AOL
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim tmp As Long
Dim ConnectionType As String
If IsNetworkAlive(tmp) = NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN Then
ConnectionType = "LAN"
ElseIf IsNetworkAlive(tmp) = NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN Then
ConnectionType = "WAN"
ElseIf IsNetworkAlive(tmp) = NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL Then
ConnectionType = "AOL"
