At least give some credit to the original source where you can find the full solution

This only works for Vista and above.

Wow Ohad,

Does that mean that, when I spend 5 or 6 hours discovering a .Net class and reading TechNet and MSDN and I come up with a solution that also appears on the Windows PowerShell Blog, I am plagiarizing?

The article you referenced doesn't even mention 'IsConnectedToInternet'.  Which would indicate that Shay did some discovery of that object on his own.

As a matter of fact someone commented on that script by Vladimir Averkin on that page who gave him a correction.  That alone is an indicator that many people have similar knowledge that they've accumulated by their own research over the years.  So just because it is similar is not an indicator that it was plagiarized.  

Plagiarism is a serious accusation and you really should have facts before you go around spewing accusations.

Personally I think your comment is in poor taste and somewhat offensive.  Which is why I posted this comment.  

Yes, it doesn't work on Windows XP and 2003
