I want to write a software which detects the internet connection type
of the computer (i.e. 56k Modem,ISDN,Dual ISDN,DSL,cable
modem,satellite, fixed connection.) and the size of the connection (i.e
DSL 512kbit)

Can somebody give me a clue ?
Using InternetGetConnectedState function I only have following options.
Is there another way(s) to determine connection type of internet.
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM = $1
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN = $2
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY = $4
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY = $8
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE = $20
#INTERNET_CONNECTION_CONFIGURED = $40
#INTERNET_RAS_INSTALLED = $10

InternetGetConnectedState() is not a Winsock function, and as far as I know,
what you want to do is not possible using Winsock.

For what purpose do you want to detect the Internet connection type? You
are, of course, aware that the connection as it seems to be on the PC is not
necessarily how the PC is actually connected to the Internet, and in fact
often is not. Right?

I want to write a module which detect the connection type located in PC
than optimize this connection for faster surfing.

Well, good luck with that. IMHO, it's futile to try to "optimize" your
connection for "faster surfing", both because the connection is likely to
already be just fine for surfing, and because you can never really know just
exactly how your PC is connected to the Internet.

In any case, there's nothing in Winsock that can assist you with this.
You'll need to find a different newsgroup (perhaps one of the TCP/IP
groups).
