If these machines are running Windows XP, you can use the "NetConnectionStatus" property of the Win32_NetworkAdapter WMI class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_networkadapter.asp We ship a generic WMI enumeration script (instances.pl). Try running "instances.pl Win32_NetworkAdapter" with the cable connected and disconnected to see the difference. But since the NetConnectionStatus property was first introduced in Windows XP, this will not show any difference on Windows 2000. For Win2k, the best idea I have is to run "ipconfig" and parse the output... > I'm trying to get a 100% unattended install together.

Glad to hear that worked. If you have time to try it with the Linux boot disk, I would be interested to hear the results of that, too. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
