Hi,

Is there a way to enumerate the Network cards that have been installed
on the system and get their IP Addresses using the .Net framework
without making any API calls.

If I have to make some API calls, does anyone have example code that I
can follow?

Thank You
Mark Hollander

Take a look at the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class in WMI.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win3
2_networkadapterconfiguration.asp

There's a property IPAddresses that returns an array of IP addresses
associated with the network adapter. MSDN also has some examples on querying
in WMI:

conaccessingmanagementinformationwithsystemmanagement.asp

Another link on querying WMI:

hope that helps..
