Internet plugin - New Plugin (Fixed)

Post by limbo »

OK I'm back again with a simple and maybe stupid plugin..... :shock:
The idea is taken from the new tray indicator on Windows Vista (should I have to mention that Windows Vista is a registered trademark of Microsoft corporation?).

In this indicator the network connection icon has a tiny globe when the system is connected to internet.

So if you need to check the internet connection using the LCD Smartie use my "Internet" plugin.
It also can check a site for availability, which means that you can check if the homepage of your home server is alive from your office....

The checks are limited on 4 per minute to decrease the network traffic..
get it here: http://www.eserver.gr (as usual:wink: )
ENJOY

I cant get this plugin to work, I can get 'Online' when the PC is connected to the internet but when it's disconnected, instead of 'Offline' I just get errors thrown.

Any ideas?

Thanks, James.

Hey James...
I think the relesead package contains an "Alpha version" of this plugin. :?
I'm pretty sure that the final version is working correctly... (I'm going to replace the package ASAP and inform you)
I'm very sorry about this :smt079
