    Depends on the router it’s hooked to and the level of traffic logging being performed. Being connected to a LAN is not the same as being connected to the internet.

      No, it doesn’t depend on the router. The device can either send traffic to other devices on the internet or it can’t. If the device can ping something on the internet, then it is connected to the internet. It’s a tautology.

        All traffic from that device is going to pass through the router. In order to start communicating with the other device, the first device has to send a packet. The router sees that packet, and routes it to the other device. If there’s no internet connection, things die here, but the router still saw that initial packet.

          Sorry, I realized I misread your earlier post. I missed the word “trying,” and it sounded like your were saying the device might not be connected to the internet even though it’s successfully pinging a server.
