Tnx for pointing this out. I have tested a few things and it seems that &quot;IsDestinationReachable&quot; behaves differently on Win9x &lt;-&gt; Win2000.<br />
Win2000: &quot;<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com</a>&quot;&nbsp;OK<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com</a>&quot; OK<br />
Win9x: &quot;<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com</a>&quot;&nbsp;NOT OK<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com</a>&quot; OK<br />
<br />
I've also tested &quot;InternetCheckConnection&quot;.<wbr /> Do you have any experiences with this function? It crashes or returns FALSE on platforms with WinInet.dll 5.00.26xx.xx or lower.<br />
Any suggestions?<br />

Has anybody an idea why &quot;IsDestinationReachable&quot; doesn't work on Win9x/Win ME? It just returns FALSE.<br />
<br />
MSIE 5.0 is installed on those machines and I'm able to ping the server I pass to &quot;IsDestinationReachable&quot;. Also &quot;GetLastError&quot; returns ERROR_SUCCESS.
