Manage Network Connections with COM Objects

[Slam]

Hi all, I'm here because I want to manage network connections under Windows XP with some COM.

With a WQL query on Win32_NetworkConnection class I can get all informations regarding network connections, but this is not enough while I need some method to manage them (that class does not provide any method).

I'm looking for something that let me manage nerwork connections in a straight simply way, where I can start and stop them, retrive IPs and something more: can you help me?

Some people bash Vista, but it's also all these little things I love: Vista does add support to enable & disable NICs using the Win32_NetworkAdapter WMI class There's so many of those enhancements all-around it's not even funny (MANY of them pertaining to WMI).

On XP, your best bet is making use of a command line util to handle this for you (e.g. devcon), or writing your own if you really feel like it.
