getting Network Interface Card(NIC) names.. question.

[Guest]

Hi,

I've got 3 Network Interface Cards(NIC) in my PC. Lets say NIC1, NIC2, NIC3.
I have openend network connections in control panel and renamed them to
Network 1, Network 2, Network 3.

I'm trying to get these names( Network 1, Network 2, Network 3) by using C#.
When I tried using Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class, I could get the
names of the actual hardware(NIC1, NIC2, NIC3) but not the renamed names
(Network 1, Network 2, Network 3).

Is there any way we can get these names programmatically?
please let me know.

Cheers,

Naveen.

No you can't use WMI for this, the names on the UI have nothing to do with
WMI configuration data, the names are stored in the registry under
HKLM\System\Controlset001\control\network
