My code to check if I have Internet connection doesn't work well

Question

I have a code to detect if I have internet connection or not, and sometimes it doesn't work well. Here's the code:

-(void) webView:(UIWebView *)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    UIAlertView *alert= [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Couldn't connect to the Internet. Please check your connection." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];   
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}

The problem is that sometimes a web doesn't load for other things and not because it has a bad connection. I hope that there's a better way to check the WiFi. Any idea?

you can check for WiFi connectivity and even for host reachability - check the link Josh gave you — Rok Jarc, Feb 20 '12 at 20:02
Sorry, I don't know why I have written conniption... I think it has been the auto-corrector of OS X... Sometimes it does strange things... — Adri, Feb 20 '12 at 20:11
Sorry, but I'm not seeing any code that checks for an internet connection, just code that shows an Alert. — crashmstr, Feb 20 '12 at 20:24
I think your confusing the Notification Alert with Alert Views. That code looks great and is just what you need. — Darren, Feb 20 '12 at 21:47
