These functionalities are already available without NET4COM.
1. There many version on the Net for pigning
2. Use the API InternetGetConnectedState to check the internet connection status.
3. There are many ways of downloading a file from the internet.
I am not sure why NET4COM is not working for you but as Boudewijn says it is still being worked on and is only in beta.
