I don't remember who to thank for this one, which I modified only  
slightly:

on testForConnection
put "255.255.255.255:43222" into testSocket
     open datagram socket to testSocket
     put hostAddress(testSocket) into theIPAddress
     close socket testSocket
     if theIPAddress is "127.0.0.1" then
       --it's the local machine address, so not connected
       --may insert connection routine here
end  testForConnection
