Detect internet reachable

HI All,

Is there anybody have an idea of how to detect internet is reachable ?
At present , I'm using ping to detect internet is reachable , but it's maybe a bad idea , some firewall of router may block ping requesting.

Best Regards,
Ke Tao

You could use the host command. "host www.google.com". Or you could simply try to browse the web with a browser.
