C# get network connection status and speed in XP

Question

Hi,

how can I get the connection statues and speed in windows XP?

Answer 1

This should tell you if a network is available.

bool IsAvailable = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable();

Gets the speed of the network

long NetworkSpeed = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.Speed;
