I have a thin client running stand alone on Windows XP embedded which will be used as a information screen. Information shall be pulled from the internet (through a website) when a WLAN-connection has been succesfully established. So what I'm looking for is a way to on Windows launch, check for a working internet connection. If the connection is OK, I want to launch a website from internet in Google Chrome. If no working connection has been found, I want to launch a local website in Chrome. In pseudo-code:
if (working internet connection)
launch Chrome with internet
else
launch Chrome with local website
end
Maybe this is possible with a piece of Visual Basic? Or is there some other scripting possible? The script shall run on system startup.
In an advanced version of this script I would eventually like to create a local copy of the website automatically when there is a working connection.
All this because the WLAN connection is quite unrealible in the place where this will be used.
Thanks in advance!
