我个人觉得Anton和moffeltje的答案最好，但我增加了一个检查，排除VMWare和其他公司设置的虚拟网络。

public static bool IsAvailableNetworkActive()
{
    // only recognizes changes related to Internet adapters
    if (!System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()) return false;

    // however, this will include all adapters -- filter by opstatus and activity
    NetworkInterface[] interfaces = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    return (from face in interfaces
            where face.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up
            where (face.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Tunnel) && (face.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Loopback)
            where (!(face.Name.ToLower().Contains("virtual") || face.Description.ToLower().Contains("virtual")))
            select face.GetIPv4Statistics()).Any(statistics => (statistics.BytesReceived > 0) && (statistics.BytesSent > 0));
}

NetworkInterface。GetIsNetworkAvailable非常不可靠。只是有一些VMware或其他局域网连接，它将返回错误的结果。 还有Dns。我只是关心测试URL是否可能在我的应用程序部署的环境中被阻止。

我发现的另一种方法是使用InternetGetConnectedState方法。 我的代码是

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("wininet.dll")]
private extern static bool InternetGetConnectedState(out int Description, int ReservedValue);

public static bool CheckNet()
{
     int desc;
     return InternetGetConnectedState(out desc, 0);         
}

public static bool CheckForInternetConnection(int timeoutMs = 10000, string url = null)
{
    try
    {
        url ??= CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture switch
        {
            { Name: var n } when n.StartsWith("fa") => // Iran
                "http://www.aparat.com",
            { Name: var n } when n.StartsWith("zh") => // China
                "http://www.baidu.com",
            _ =>
                "http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204",
        };

        var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.KeepAlive = false;
        request.Timeout = timeoutMs;
        using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
            return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }
}

多线程版本的ping:

而不是检查，只需执行操作(web请求，邮件，ftp等)，并为请求失败做好准备，即使检查成功，您也必须这样做。

考虑以下几点:

1 - check, and it is OK
2 - start to perform action 
3 - network goes down
4 - action fails
5 - lot of good your check did

如果网络坏了，你的动作就会像ping一样迅速失败。

1 - start to perform action
2 - if the net is down(or goes down) the action will fail
