No matter what scheme you pick, all bets are off if someone
reconfigures the network while your program is running.
What do you mean when you say that all bets are off?
I just did a little test using RB2005r4 in OSX, and RB does appear to
reflect changes to network devices. I tried disabling my FireWire
network, and then re-enabling it, and RB showed that
System.NetworkInterfaceCount went down to one and back to two
respectively, without restarting the program. I just had to press my
refresh button.
Also, RB appears to only have access to the IP Address, MAC Address,
and Subnet Mask of the network interface of a given index, at least,
natively. I'd bet there's a whole bunch more that declares can do.
