That will be the same for all network cards. You can look up the network interface GUID in the registry, in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards. There's one subkey for each interface, containing a Description and a ServiceName. The ServiceName is the interface GUID. -- Tim Roberts, timr(a)probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
