Identify non-physical ethernet adapter
-
Hi Gurus, I need to identify if a network interface card (specifically ethernet) is physical or non-physical? I use the "NetworkInterface" class to enumerate the network cards. However, in my system there is one LAN adapter that is present and is not physical. This doesnt show up as a virtual adapter also. Is there any API in .NET which can help to identify if a device is actually present in the machine or not??? Thanks in advance.

I assume you're talking about an adapter in a virtual machine. I found a utility on the net (with C# source code) that thoroughly examined the WMI database., but I can't remember where or what the name is. If I were you, I would google for "c# wmi" and see what kind of hits I get back. You could then use that utility to explore the networking stuff.
