I'm trying to catch an exception while doing:

myStreamRequest = GetRequestStream()

The problem is that I get the same error when my pc doesn't have a correct network connection (it is unplugged) and when the requested URL is not correct. The exception is WebException and the status: NameResolutionFailure, and I need to make a difference between those two errors. I've been trying to catch a possible innerException, but it is not thrown in this case.

What should I do?

You can check for the existance of a network, before you make a request. 

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()
