[RESOLVED] [2005] Detect if on a wireless connection

One would think that this may be simple with the .NET framework, but I'm having a very difficult time trying to "detect if the a computer is using a wireless network or wired LAN".

Does anyone have any tips on if this can actually be done and if so, any pointers on where to get started?

Thanks!

Try this

Code:

---

        Dim adapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        Dim adapter As NetworkInterface
        Dim num As Integer = 0
        For Each adapter In adapters
            Debug.WriteLine(num.ToString.PadRight(5, " "c) & adapter.Name)
            Debug.WriteLine(num.ToString.PadRight(5, " "c) & adapter.Description)
            Debug.WriteLine(num.ToString.PadRight(5, " "c) & adapter.NetworkInterfaceType)
            Debug.WriteLine(num.ToString.PadRight(5, " "c) & adapter.OperationalStatus.ToString)
            'Debug.WriteLine(adapter.etc much more
            num += 1
        Next

---

this is my output from debug

You my friend.. are wonderful. For those looking for this answer, dbasnett provided a perfect working example of how to iterate through your network devices. Props!
