### 14. Network Connection Status Indicator
Network Connection Status Indicator (NCSI) detects Internet connectivity and corporate network connectivity status. NCSI sends a DNS request and HTTP query to http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt to determine if the device can communicate with the Internet. See the [Microsoft Networking Blog](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Networking-Blog/bg-p/NetworkingBlog) to learn more.
