[RESOLVED] Get LAN Name (not Device Name)

I can get the LAN Device Names (using code below) but how do you get those strings from the "Name" column (see image) that the user can change?

Code:

---

' get list of enabled lan card device names
Dim cat As New PerformanceCounterCategory("Network Interface")
Dim instances As String() = cat.GetInstanceNames()
For Each instance As String In instances
    Debug.WriteLine(instance)
Next

I do not fully understand the code myself but I found and tested this code and it did show what you are asking for. It is just a matter of selecting the one you want.

Code:

---

Imports System.Management
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation


       
        Dim nics As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        If nics Is Nothing OrElse nics.Length < 1 Then
            Debug.WriteLine("  No network interfaces found.")
            Exit Sub
        End If
        For Each adapter As NetworkInterface In nics
            Debug.WriteLine(adapter.Name)
        Next

NetworkInformation seems to do the trick, Thanks!
