scopeId

private string scopeId

Network

public Network()

Initializes a new instance of the Network class.

Adapters

public System.Collections.ICollection Adapters

The network adapters

Addresses

public System.Collections.ICollection Addresses

The addresses for the machine

DnsEnabled

public bool DnsEnabled

Tests whether DNS is enabled

DnsServerList

public System.Net.IPAddress[] DnsServerList

Gets the list of DNS Servers

DomainName

public string DomainName

The Domain Name

HostName

public string HostName

The Host name

InterfaceCount

public int InterfaceCount

The number of network interfaces

Interfaces

public System.Collections.ICollection Interfaces

The network interfaces

ProxyEnabled

public bool ProxyEnabled

Determines if a proxy is enabled

RoutingEnabled

public bool RoutingEnabled

Determines whether Routing is enabled

ScopeId

public string ScopeId

The Scope ID

Type

public NetSamples.Common.Net.Network.NodeType Type

The Node Type

BestInterface

public NetSamples.Common.Net.NetworkInterface BestInterface(System.Net.IPAddress destination)

Gets the best interface to use for the destination address.

IsLocalAddress

public bool IsLocalAddress(System.Net.IPAddress address)

Determines whether the supplied IP Address matches of the machines addresses.

IsMulticastAddress

public bool IsMulticastAddress(System.Net.IPAddress address)

Determines whether the supplied IP Address is a multicast address.

IsPrivateNetworkAddress

public bool IsPrivateNetworkAddress(System.Net.IPAddress address)

Tests whether an IPAddress is in one of the address ranges designated by RFC1912 as a private address.

LoadNetworkParams

protected void LoadNetworkParams()

Loads the core network information for the machine. Note that the Network class is not compatible with Windows NT 4.0 as the IP Helper library is not available on that platform.

RttHopCount

public bool RttHopCount(System.Net.IPAddress destination,
                        uint maxhops,
                        uint rtt,
                        uint hopcount)
