Hello everyone. Quick question. Is there a way to check to see if a
user is signed on to a VPN using Visual Basic? Any Help
appreciated. Thanks Ray.

From what little I know about VPNs they use a different network
adapter and IP address. You could check the network adapter list and
then see what the IP address by using some of the networking APIs
available at vbnet.mvps.org.

Generally all you need to do is check to see if they have access to
something on the remote network they are connecting to. I use the
FSO functions for this. If you want me to look up the code, I can.

David,
I appreciate the help. If you could find the code for the FSO
function that would be fantastic or even tell me where to search and I
will look it up myself. Thanks again for the help. Ray
