Method of detecting TCP/IP bindings of installed network interface cards present in a computer system

摘要

A method for detecting TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) bindings for Network Interface Cards (NICs) installed on Windows 95(R) and Windows 98(R) operating systems with a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client present. The present invention provides a method for parsing the Windows(TM) system registry to detect TCP/IP bindings for network interface cards installed within a host computer system. In one embodiment, a DriverCheck function and a HardwareCheck function are implemented as parts of a computer software for detecting the TCP/IP bindings for network interface cards installed on the host computer system.
