You could use the Reachability class from Apple, it has a method called -reachabilityWithHostName:, which will inform you if a host is reachable and which connection(s) are available (WiFi, GSM).

Check the code: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/Reachability/Introduction/Intro.html

thanks a lot. But it does work for "myhost" but it fails when port number is added. @Wolfgang Schreurs – FsoulForever Jun 20 '11 at 14:08
