The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved.

[hazz]

Dim ws As New GetInfoByZIP.USZip

works great if I have an internet connection on my dev machine.

As soon as I lose or disable my internet connection I get

"The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved."

It isn't as simple as just checking to see if ws is null or nothing.

I don't want to utilize the solution I have seen involving webRequest.KeepAlive = False because there is nothing to keep alive. It simply can't get out to the web service.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

for now :

catch e as exception

If e.Message = "The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved." Then

Exit Function

End If

End try

did not get what you want exactly, but you should have try cath over ws
calls.
(since you cannot control the physical connectivity)
