The WMI class you'd probably want to talk to is Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
Change this line: our $drives = $wmi->ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk"); To read: our $drives = $wmi->ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled = 1"); And then use this documentation (below) to get this script (in the thread) pulling all of the correct properties.. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394217.aspx Or Download this script: http://www.roth.net/perl/scripts/scripts.asp?wmi-Generic.pl And run it like so... perl wmi-generic.pl computername Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration My script won't do the "where ipenabled = 1" (in it's current incantation). But that would help you figure out all the properties that are exposed and how they read in your specific environment. I have a version that allows for where clauses (but I just haven't uploaded it to Mr Roth's site).

I haven't used it to enumerate the NICs the way you want to do, but a quick and dirty example of using WMI in Perl is one I wrote to enumerate drives. You can probably use the windows scripting help to find the objects for the NICs. An example of using Perl with WMI: #!perl use Win32; use Win32::OLE qw( in ); *error = *Win32::OLE::LastError; my $wmi = Win32::OLE->GetObject("Winmgmts:"); die error() if error(); our $drives = $wmi->ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk"); die error() if error(); foreach my $drive (in( $drives )) { print "drive name: $drive->{Name}\n"; print "filesystem: $drive->{FileSystem}\n"; print "Drive size: $drive->{Size}\n"; print "Drive freespace: $drive->{FreeSpace}\n"; print "Drive type: $drive->{DriveType}\n"; print "\n\n"; } From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ankit Mehrotra Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 2:48 AM To: Foo JH Cc: perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: reading the Network Interface Card(NIC) name I am not very well versed in wmi.
