network connection name

[rdtttttttttttttt]

Hi

Is it possible to get the name of network connection icon(refer to the attached pic) through program based on ip address?

Pls let me know if there is a way.

Thank you.

I think the .NET example VI located here will give you what you want...

You should also be able to get this information by using System Exec and issuing the command "ipconfig /all" and then parse the output. Not sure which is better for Vista, though, which is what you seem to be running (and for this, my condolences ).

I would guess, that info is stored in the registry. You can try searching for the name to find the keys.

Here is a more comprehensive VI to get all named adapters, and the ip addresses assigned to each...

Hi guyz

Bravo! Bravo! I did not expect such an elegant solution. Thank u very much!

Btw, another question: How can I change IP of a certain IP using dotnet in Labview?

Another solution which does not invoke the entire .Net resource hog, would be posted in this thread.
