IPInfo Configuration
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.IPInfo Configuration Settings
| UseOldApi: If set the class will use the old API to get Adapter information. The class uses new system calls to obtain IPv6 as well as IPv4 adapter information. Some of the new System calls are not supported on the XP Windows operating system however. Set this config to false to use the old System calls when retrieving adapter information.
NOTE: This functionality is only available in Windows. NOTE: This setting should only be needed when using the XP operating system. | |
| ARPAddress: Specifies the IP Address of the interface to be used for the GetMAC method. By default, when GetMAC is called the class will attempt the address resolution from the first adapter listed by the system. In multi-homed machines it may be necessary to specify the IP address of the interface to be used as the source of the address resolution request. Set this setting to the local IP address of the adapter to be used when making this request. | |
| AdapterDADState: Specifies the Duplicate Address Detection state of the IP address of the adapter specified by AdapterIndex. The possible values are as follows:

| AdapterIPv6DADState: Specifies the Duplicate Address Detection state of the IPv6 address of the adapter specified by AdapterIndex. The possible values are as follows:

| AdapterOtherDADStates: Specifies the Duplicate Address Detection states of the IP addresses leased by the adapter specified by AdapterIndex, if any. The possible values are as follows:
