Hey Robert, The internet reachability test is composed of couple parts. Only one of them is HTTP. There is also an ICMP and DNS part to it. You can customize it on the registry at: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet The windows internet access check doesn’t affect other software, they do not rely on any of windows checks but do this by themselves. I hope this have helped you. I can try to test it locally but it’s better that you will first make a tiny effort to dump with wireshark the traffic on the interface (after you have flushed the dns cahce) to verify what traffic windows use to test the internet connectivity.
