NetworkAvailableMBS

Today I removed NetworkAvailableMBS. It was not working right and basicly it's not useful.
if you want to check whether you have a network, than do a DNS resolve:

// two independend domain names
const domain1 = "www.google.com"
const domain2 = "www.macsw.de"

// resolve IPs
dim ip1 as string = DNSNameToAddressMBS(Domain1)
dim ip2 as string = DNSNameToAddressMBS(Domain2)

// if we got IPs and not the same IPs (error/login pages)
if len(ip1)=0 or len(ip2)=0 or ip1=ip2 then
MsgBox "no connection"
else
MsgBox "have connection"
end if

This way you can detect whether you got something from DNS. And you can make sure that a DNS redirection to a login page won't catch you.
