How to know the internet connection details using Visual C++ Win32 API

Question

I have to create a log file for all internet connection made by PC. It should have details of the username, time of connection, etc. I do know about the InternetGetConnectedState() function which returns the bool value. Know how do I get the other details. Can some one help me out thanks in advance. I am using win32 API and visual c++.

Answer 1

You could use Network List Manager API to get list of networks using IEnumNetworks. Then use INetwork interface to get network information.

Answer 2

You can use RasEnumConnections to enumerate the current connections. You can then call RasGetLinkStatistics to get information about each link (connection speed, amount of data sent and/or received, time connected, etc.) If you want to know the address assigned to the client on a PPP connection, you have to retrieve that separately with RasGetProjectionInfo. If you want information about the connection (e.g. the name of the modem) you can retrieve that with RasGetConnectStatus.
