checking for active internet connection

I am developing a VB .Net application that accesses a web service to upload
information to the company. This is all working but I have now been asked to
get the program to make a connection to the internet if the PC is not already
connected. Is it possible to do this and if so what do I need to do. I can
see that I can check if a particular site is available and if it is not I can
probably assume the PC is not connected. However I would like to be able to
check for a connection and if there is not one active then open one.
