ipconfig / winipcfg

NTDEV

To all,

I am attempting to write an app that requires functionality similar to the
IPCONFIG utility in NT/2000 and WINIPCFG utility in 95/98. I need to be
able to provide a list of the machine’s IP addresses along with each IP
address’s adapter. For example, if a PC has both a network connection
(e.g., a 3COM network card) and a live modem connection (e.g., a modem call
to AOL), the app would display two entries: an entry for the 3COM card and
an entry for the PPP adapter.

Is there an API or other mechanism available in 95, 98, NT4, and 2000 that
will allow me to do this?

I’ve found entries in the registry under NT and 2000 that appear to give me
this information, so I can use an ad-hoc solution to solve the problem
under NT and 2000. But I couldn’t find similar information in the registry
under 95 and 98. Also, I know that I can obtain a list of IP addresses
via WinSock. However, WinSock does not provide me with the name of the
adapter associated with each IP address.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards,

You can use the information exported by the IP helper library, IPHLPAPI.DLL,
to get this information.

According to the MSDN, the relevant IPHLPAPI.DLL functions are not
available for 95 and NT. Most of them are available only on 2000.

WMI could provide this information. However, the systems you run on would
need to have the WMI Core installed. Windows 2000 has the WMI Core by
default, but it must be installed separately on NT4, W98 and W95 OSR2.
