iOS Reachability error will not display

I have created an error message that should display if the user can not connect to google.com by eithe开发者_高级运维r WI-FI or WWAN. I do not get any coding errors, so nothing seems to be wrong. I am using a UIWebview that goes to twitter.com. The issue may be that I am trying to get the error to display when the view loads and not the UIWebview, but I am not sure. Another issue that I am having is that I can not get "reachability" recognized as a name in the TwitterViewController.h file. Here is the code:

TwitterViewController.h

 #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    #import "Reachability.h"

    @interface TwitterViewController : UIViewController {
        Reachability *reachability;

    }

    @end

TwitterViewController.m

    #import "TwitterViewController.h"
    #import <SystemConfiguration/SystemConfiguration.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>

    #import "TwitterView.h"

    @implementation TwitterViewController

    - (void)viewDidLoad  {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        Reachability *r = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName:@"http://www.google.com"];
        NetworkStatus internetStatus = [r currentReachabilityStatus];
        if ((internetStatus != ReachableViaWiFi) && (internetStatus != ReachableViaWWAN)) {
            UIAlertView *NEalert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Error"
                                                              message: @"Could not load the webpage. Please check your internet connection."
                                                             delegate: nil
                                                    cancelButtonTitle: @"Dismiss"
                                                    otherButtonTitles: nil];       
            [NEalert show];
            [NEalert release];

        }
    }

            self.view = twitterView;

            [twitterView release];
        }
        return self;
    }

        [alert show];
        [alert release];

EDIT: This is what ended up working perfectly for me

 {{Reachability *r = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection];
        NetworkStatus internetStatus = [r currentReachabilityStatus];
        if (internetStatus == NotReachable) {
            UIAlertView *tNEalert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Error"
                                                               message: @"Internet Connection Required"
                                                              delegate: self
                                                     cancelButtonTitle: @"Dismiss"
                                                     otherButtonTitles: nil];       
            [tNEalert show];
            [tNEalert release];
        }
        else {

            UIView *twitterView = [[TwitterView alloc] initWithParentViewController:self];
            self.view = twitterView;


            [twitterView release];

        }
    }}

I used to use reachability like this:

self.reachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection];
if ( [self.reachability currentReachabilityStatus] == NotReachable) {
    UIAlertView *noConnectionAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Alert",@"Alert Title")
                                                               message:@"Internet connection is required." delegate:self 
                                                     cancelButtonTitle:nil 
                                                     otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil];
    [noConnectionAlert show];
    [noConnectionAlert release];
}

Use should use reachabilityWithHostName: only if you need to determine reachability to a specific host. See if this will work.
