The function CheckInternetConnection in dlls/wininet/internet.c is too naive ATM; it just sends a ping to the specified host.
Like Mike McCormack suggested in the bug report, UNIX connect() does not deal with a proxy. It would be nice if you could confirm that CheckInternetConnection on Windows ignores a configured proxy, especially since you seem to have access to such a configuration.

If you take closer look at the comments, I have already done that. The box that was used for the second test was completely configured and set up for the network, yet it didn't use the proxy. AFAIK, there also is no central place to configure a proxy in Windows, only app-specific settings like in IE or Firefox.
