ABSTRACT:
A client information handling system (IHS) connects to a network in a manner that provides transparent network connectivity. In one embodiment, the client IHS includes a polling application that monitors the network connection to determine if the client IHS exhibits a connected status or a disconnected status. An interceptor application in the client IHS permits transmission of a request for a network task from the client IHS if the client IHS currently exhibits a connected status. However, the interceptor application intercepts and stores a request for a network task if the client IHS currently exhibits a disconnected status. At a later time when the client IHS again exhibits a connected status, the interceptor application transmits the stored request over the network. In this manner, the user of the client IHS experiences transparent network connectivity and need not worry with respect to the network connection status of the client IHS at any particular point in time.
