Jorge,
  I did this in Visual C++, but I imagine you could do the same thing in
Delphi using the windows APIs. I too was creating a thread to test
connection status. What I did was to spawn one thread and within that
thread I called CoInitialize(NULL) to enter the STA. That thread created
two timers. When a timer woke up, it would check the status of it's
particular connection. If if found connectivity was disconnected, it would
set an event object telling the app that it had been disconnected. The
rest of the application consisted of two threads that belonged to the MTA.
I don't know if this was the best way to do it but it worked for me.
