They had "no idea" how to force/change a new IP address in Vista or 7.
They charge more for a static IP, so would not just be giving me this "upgrade" for free. I spoke to my ISP (3 times, 3 different techs), they said my IP is dynamic and confirmed I have a Dynamic ISP IP address, yet it remains as if it were static, everything that use to work in XP and previous versions of Windows no longer works in Vista or 7.

In any case, maybe you can incorporate some of this code into an updated article. I have found that most machines do have SNMP installed, so that is the one that I use most often. One problem with the NetBIOS method is that not all computers have NetBIOS installed. I ran into this problem last year and have re-used the following code many times since. Re: Protocol independent way of getting MACĪn excellent idea to post this to Code Project. IplpApi.dll not installed or not found prepare parameters and call (* fnGetAdaptersInfo)(pip, &ul) HMODULE hIpHlpApi = LoadLibrary(_T("IpHlpApi.dll")) įN_GetAdaptersInfo fnGetAdaptersInfo = (FN_GetAdaptersInfo)GetProcAddress(hIpHlpApi, "GetAdaptersInfo") Typedef DWORD (WINAPI *FN_GetAdaptersInfo)(PIP_ADAPTERS_INFO, PULONG) You may need to do a runtime check using a sequence like Now I don't know if Windows 95 interests you, but Windows NT.
