Checking for a LAN connection

To check for a LAN connection, various things can be done, like checking for your user name, or retrieving logon information from the registry, but they can all fail if you consider a dock able notebook. The following function searches for actual existing connections.

const
MAX_NEIGHBORS = 20;
function NetAvailable: Boolean;
var
NetRes: array[0..MAX_NEIGHBORS] of TNetResource;
NNError,
hEnum,
EntryCount,
NetResLen: DWORD;
loop1: Integer;
begin
hEnum := 0;
Result := FALSE;
try
NNError := WNetOpenEnum(RESOURCE_GLOBALNET, RESOURCETYPE_ANY, 0, nil, hEnum);
if NNError = NO_ERROR then
begin
while NNError <> ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS do
begin
EntryCount := 1;
NetResLen := SizeOf(NetRes);
NNError := WNetEnumResource(hEnum, EntryCount, @NetRes, NetResLen);
if (NNError = NO_ERROR) then
begin
for loop1 := 1 to EntryCount do
begin
if Pos('Microsoft', NetRes[0].lpProvider) = 1 then
begin
Result := TRUE;
Break
end
end
end
else
begin
Break
end
end;
WNetCloseEnum(hEnum)
// close enum
end
except
on exception do
begin
ShowMessage('Network Neighborhood Detection Failed.')
end;
end
end;
