System 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Object

This class provides access to configuration and address information for network interfaces that support IPv4. You do not create instances of this class; they are returned by the method.

For IPV6 properties, see .

Provides information about network interfaces that support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).

- Constructor
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0

  This constructor can be called only by classes that derive from .

  Initializes a new instance of the class.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Int32 To be added.

  If the value of this property is zero, IPv4 is not supported by this interface.

  Gets the index of the network interface associated with the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Boolean To be added.

  Automatic private IP addressing allows computers that do not have access to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to be automatically assigned an IP address that does not conflict with public addresses. These addresses are in the range 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255.

  Gets a value that indicates whether this interface has an automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) address.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Boolean To be added.

  Automatic private IP addressing allows computers that do not have access to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to be automatically assigned an IP address that does not conflict with public addresses. These addresses are in the range 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255.

  Gets a value that indicates whether this interface has automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) enabled.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Boolean To be added.

  When this property is true, a DHCP server assigns the IP address to the interface when the computer establishes its network connections.

  Gets a value that indicates whether the interface is configured to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to obtain an IP address.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Boolean To be added.

  If routing is disabled, packets that are received by the interface with a destination address that is not held by the interface are discarded.

  Gets a value that indicates whether this interface can forward (route) packets.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Int32 To be added.

  The MTU of a network interface is the largest packet that can be transmitted. It is measured in octets (8-bit bytes).

  Gets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for this network interface.

- Property
  2.0.0.0
  4.0.0.0
  System.Boolean To be added.

  WINS provides a distributed database for registering and querying dynamic NetBIOS names to IPv4 address mappings.

  Gets a value that indicates whether an interface uses Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).
