Sure, let me find it and make some small doc for it as well, i had it using some cmd line parameters for interval and address to ping and stuff that i probably should document.

Found it on my development pc at home,
Download : http://www.boyakasha.dk/inetup.exe
here is a "short" explanation :

The inetup.exe utility is meant to check reachability of an ip address by using ICMP Echo/Echo Reply (PING), and on that basis create a file or delete it depending on whether or not the address responds to ping. If started with no cmd line parameters the program will just start without doing anything, you can then use the input boxes for setting it up. However you can use parameters to specify the ip address to ping, the interval at which it should ping, and what path/file should be created or deleted and if the program should start enabled or disabled.

Params :

inetup.exe <IP> <interval> <state> <file>

IP : Address you want to check (ex.193.88.44.42)
Interval : how often should it ping, in milliseconds (ex.3000)
State : Should the program start pinging upon execute (ex.True)
File : the path and or filename that should be created/deleted (ex.c:\connected.txt)

Params must all be used if any of them are used at all in the order stated, and the filepath must be created already.

Example : from Start/Run : "C:\RoadRunner\inetup.exe" 193.88.44.42 3000 True c:\download\connected.txt

Any way to include multiple ips in the ping list, and just OR the result? Just in case the IP you choose goes down...

can we use www.google.com instead of an IP?

Pretty sure it'll be EXTREMELY rare for Google to go down.

**rsd212** · 04-05-2006, 07:58 PM

With multiple IPs, do Google, Yahoo, and MSN...with that combination, them all going down pretty much means the apocalypse

i got name resolution working, so now you can get the new version, www.boyakasha.dk/inetup.exe only change i did for now is that instead of ip you put the hostname like www.google.com or www.msn.com or whatever you like.

Okay, I also wrote my own version using AutoIt (called AutoNetDetect). This app checks for local connection state first then verify it by pinging Google.com. If a valid connection is detected, a file will be created (default = C:\connected.txt). Otherwise, the file is deleted. You can also choose to run an app when connected (this is so you can update your weather, traffic report, etc.)

The following parameters are configurable via AutoNetDetect.ini.
Check Interval
Host to Ping
App to Run when connected
File to Create when connected

Here's an update with a tray icon and small bug fix if anyone cares.

**Sonicxtacy02** · 04-07-2006, 03:03 PM

very important question about your software!!! Does it work when windows isnt the shell? net-detect doesnt :|

**Sonicxtacy02** · 04-07-2006, 04:33 PM

i'm gonna test the ability to run out of windows shell tonight. So far this program looks good! Small request, is it possible to have connected.txt deleted upon exit of your program? Without this the computer would think it has access after a reboot right?
