Re[4]: Network Reachability

[Chris Rounds <ch...@cdrservices.com>]

The native extension approach is the only method I have found to work. I have not tried using it on windows phone yet, though I suspect since it is built on AIR2 it may not be supported. A call to isSupported property should determine if the device is supported or not and if true you can use findInterfaces to see what is returned (if anything) from a windows phone.
