Android :: Checking For Network Connectivity?

I have an IntentService which makes some web service calls. Before making these calls I check to make sure the device has network connectivity.

I am doing so like this:

CODE:.............

Unfortunately, when I'm debugging on my Android device, this returns false when I have both a network and a wireless connection.

Some interesting tidbits about connec.getNetworkInfo(0):

CODE:...................

Clearly this code is not sufficient (perhaps it would only return true if I sent some bit over the network and turned the radio on?). Moreover, since I'm not well versed in the ConnectivityManager, I'm assuming I should probably be scanning all networks (ie: getNetworkInfo(0 through N)).
