I quess what I can do is pull everything I need from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration and then try to find the matchine MAC address in Win32_NetworkAdapter to pull the NetConnectionID.

Einar,

Regarding NetConnectionID, I do not know, it works fine for me, I got my two connections with the name they have in the Icon of the Control Panel. I used loWMI.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter where availability=3 and MACAddress<>null and AdapterTypeID=0").

Now, if you want to pull some info from one class and some other info from the other, I think the correct way of doing it is thru it's associator class, called Win32_NetworkAdapterSetting
