>Hugo,
>Thank you for the reply. I have to tell you that I am acctually not using VFP. I am using .NET but the methods seemed so similar. I noticed after reading your post again that you query Win32_NetworkAdapter in VFP. I query Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration in .NET which I guess does not expose NetConnectionID or AdapterTypeID.

Oh, in the first sample I queried NetworkAdapterConfiguration too, in particular because I can query in it about IPEnabled and the Domain where it is connected. In this second case, you wanted the name of the connection as it appears in the control panel, so for that I needed NetworkAdapter class (I found the name of some WMI clases somehow deceiving...). In my case it returns: 1394 Connection and Local Area Connection 2, which are the 2 ethernet cards (I added it to the query)
