It tries to determine whether your machine has a network connection (LAN or Internet). The implementation varies by operating system. -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]

Does it do this by checking to see if it can connect to a remote resource, or by checking some internal state? -- Dane Carlson

It does not work, at least in Windows View 0.10.38.3.1, Windows NT 4 and 2000. I have 2 network adapters and I'm always "connected" with one of them to cable TV. View connected? function returns true. Then I disconnect with ipconfig /release, and connected? still returns true. Another strange thing is that View panel asks me if it should connect to the Internet, even though connected? function returns true. Anyway, this is an old version of View, I hope it works in newer versions. -- Michal Kracik Dane Carlson wrote:

Please contact [feedback--rebol--com] about this. Make sure you include your network configuration (information in Network control panel etc.), and diagnostic output, e.g. from winipcfg.

That "connect to the Internet" question refers to the connection to our web site to get Reb information. It is not related to the physical connection within Windows (Dial-Up Networking etc.). -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]
