Here's a synchronous example. You'll probably want to do this asynchronously, but this will get you through for a quick check.

Reachability *netReach = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName:@"host.name"];
//return [netReach currentReachabilityStatus];
NetworkStatus netStatus = [netReach currentReachabilityStatus];
if (netStatus==ReachableViaWiFi) {
    [ViewManager showStatus:@"Reachable (WiFi)!"];
} else if(netStatus==ReachableViaWWAN) {
    [ViewManager showStatus:@"Reachable (WWAN)!"];
} else {
    [ViewManager showStatus:@"Not reachable, aww :-("];
}

When using reachabilityWithHostName you have to remember that this is just the host name, there should be no http:// prefix or the like.
