which ipc system do i use on windows?

[Frank]

This is a development question, but I don't know where else to put this, so
here goes....

I basically want to register my program as a listener for changes in the
network configuration.
I could poll for the change I want to observe (say by searching the output
of ipconfig every 5 seconds),
but listening for an event generated by the source of the change would be
more efficient. This is usually
provided by an IPC subsystem of the OS (examples linux/unix would be dbus,
dcop or ice) does such a
subsystem exist on Windows? If so, what is its name so I can look up more
info on it?

Thankyou,

Frank

"Usually" was probably not the smartest way to ask the question.
I am open to any other suggestions on how to overcome this problem (except
for polling though! ).

BTW by IPC I mean InterProcess Communication.

You should ask this question in a programmer group.
