Is there a way to use Lingo to see if the PC/Mac is connected to the Internet?
Not reliably, in my experience. You can try polling the environment.internetConnected but you'll probably find it's not accurate. As I recall it has problems with proxies.
I use baOpenURL to start the default browser and load a page, but I'd like to test for connection first.
Well, theoretically the machine will start a dialup session if there isn't a connection. It might not hurt to let the user know in advance with something like "If you click here a web page will load" (or whatever works), thus giving him/her a little warning that a net connection will be required.
