connected? returns true if Windows believes that you have an outside
connection (i.e. a connection to a network which accepts packets for
the Internet
). It is impossible to tell from an application whether
a real, physical connection to the Internet exists. This means that
if you are on a LAN, connected to a router then REBOL cannot tell if
the router itself is connected. connected? will return true whenever
the interface is "up" and the router is listed as a default gateway.
