i have a Pharo 7.0.3 image run on Ubuntu system.

Sometime the internet connection go down.

In this status when i do the:

NetNameResolver addressForName:  'www.esug.org'  timeout: 1

the system is busy for 20 seconds ( for any request ).

The timeout: 1 is not considered.

Question:  how i can test if the internet connection is up before submit any NetNameResolver request ?

Googling in VisualBasic i found the ActiveConnection

It return true if internet connection is active.

Equivalent in Pharo - Gemstone ?

Thanks,

Dario
