This function will return NO if it cannot reach the file. Otherwise, it will return YES. I tried it in flight mode and in 3G mode. It works.

i tryed the following code, put my iphone in airplane mode and ran the app. it appears to not work...at all

- (BOOL) connectedToNetwork {
	return ([NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/"]]!=NULL)?YES:NO;
	
	if (YES) {
	}
	
	if (NO) {
		UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:@"no internet connection" 
													   delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
		[alert show];
	    [alert release];
	}
}
