Hi, I'm considering developing a program that is able to detect when the connectivity to the Internet has been lost, e.g. we are in a local network and the gateway is not working, even though it is not fried and answers to ping). Symptoms of this would be, lost TCP connections, being unable to start some TCP connections to hosts external to our LAN and DNS requests timeouts (this one is not crucial since there could be a local DNS server). I do not want the program to start specific TCP connections or DNS request, but to notice when those launched by any process in the system fail. Any hint? -- ,_, (O,O) Luis Carlos Cobo Rus - luisca ( ) cozybit Inc. -"-"-------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG ID: 44019B60 -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
