WinAudit :: Network TCP/IP
|
This section shows the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration of the computer. For completeness, WinAudit reports all configurations found. For example, the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) allows network cards to support multiple network protocols.
Note, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) information is reported only on Windows NT® 4.0 and above. Some data items such as Adapter Type, require Windows® 2000 and above with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) enabled.
 Adapter Number
A number to identify the adapter on systems with multiple adapters. Counting starts at 1.
Adapter Name
The name of the adapter.
DNS Host Name
The host name as specified in the Domain Name System (DNS) configuration.
DNS Servers
A list of the IP addresses of those computers used to translate domain names to IP addresses.
IP Address
The IP address of the computer. May be 0.0.0.0 if using a dial-up connection or DHCP on Windows® 95, Windows® 98 or Windows® Me.
This may also be 0.0.0.0 if the network adapter obtains an address from a DHCP server, in this case refer to the
DHCP IP Address for the last leased value.
IP Subnet
The mask used to determine to which subnet an IP address belongs.
Default IP Gateway
The IP address of the default gateway.
DHCP Enabled
Indicates whether DHCP is enabled.
DHCP Server
The IP address of the DHCP server.
DHCP IP Address
The IP address assigned to the computer by the server.
DHCP Lease Obtained
The timestamp, formatted in the user's settings, of when the dynamic IP address was assigned.
DHCP Lease Expires
The timestamp, formatted in the user's settings, of when the dynamic IP address assigned by the server expires.
Status Code
A numerical code indicating the status of the adapter, zero means OK. A readable description is also given. Requires Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
Adapter Status
A textual description of the status code above. Requires Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
Adapter Type
The type of network adapter, such as Ethernet 802.3. Requires Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
MAC Address
The network adapter's Media access control address. Requires Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
Connection Status
A textual description of the state of the network connection, examples are Connected and Media disconnected. Requires Windows® XP or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
Connection Speed
The current speed setting of the network adapter in bits-per-second. The reported value is only meaningful if the adapter is in a connected state. Requires Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 or above along with the Windows Management Instrumentation service running.
