Sure. Open firefox, type 'www.google.com'. If you see Google, your
network is working. If you see an error, your network is not. :P

(the point is that...you pretty much know whether your network is
working. it's obvious when it isn't. there isn't actually much practical
use in a little icon that tells you what you already know.)
