I am using Delphi XE2 Update 4 on Windows XP sp3
I am looking to get max possible information from installed network adapters, specially the broadcast ip.
For that I used this code from Jan Schulz that I got from this article.

The code apparently works, however it only return one network interface, the loopback (127.0.0.0), and it should return my network private interface also.
On this part of the code it always return only one interface available:
NoOfInterfaces := NoOfBytesReturned Div SizeOf (Interface_Info);
To work on XE2 I had to change the string used (AnsiString).
I have also tried using Winsock2 unit, and also tried using IdWinSock2 and the API calls from there.
On all cases the APIs worked and returned only the loopback interface.
Using another utility written on delphi I could get a this list, and the local IP 192.168.0.112 got listed, however this source code is not easy to use.
My question is: what is wrong?
912
Following Remy Lebeau sugestion and help documenting this thread I found this source code in delphi, tested with XP and W7, that brings the information using GetAdaptersInfo().
Credits to Brad Prendergast original post updated by Markus Humm final version
I have added the subnet mask reporting to make clear to newbies like me where the information is stored:
uses IpHlpApi, IpTypes;
procedure RetrieveLocalAdapterInformation(strings: TStrings);
var
pAdapterInfo, pTempAdapterInfo: PIP_ADAPTER_INFO;
AdapterInfo: IP_ADAPTER_INFO;
BufLen: DWORD;
Status: DWORD;
strMAC: String;
i: Integer;
begin
strings.Clear;
BufLen:= sizeof(AdapterInfo);
pAdapterInfo:= @AdapterInfo;
Status:= GetAdaptersInfo(nil, BufLen);
pAdapterInfo:= AllocMem(BufLen);
try
Status:= GetAdaptersInfo(pAdapterInfo, BufLen);
if (Status <> ERROR_SUCCESS) then
begin
case Status of
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED:
strings.Add('GetAdaptersInfo is not supported by the operating ' +
'system running on the local computer.');
ERROR_NO_DATA:
strings.Add('No network adapter on the local computer.');
else
strings.Add('GetAdaptersInfo failed with error #' + IntToStr(Status));
end;
Dispose(pAdapterInfo);
Exit;
end;
while (pAdapterInfo <> nil) do
begin
strings.Add('Description: ' + pAdapterInfo^.Description);
strings.Add('Name: ' + pAdapterInfo^.AdapterName);
strMAC := '';
for I := 0 to pAdapterInfo^.AddressLength - 1 do
strMAC := strMAC + '-' + IntToHex(pAdapterInfo^.Address[I], 2);
Delete(strMAC, 1, 1);
strings.Add('MAC address: ' + strMAC);
strings.Add('IP address: ' + pAdapterInfo^.IpAddressList.IpAddress.S);
strings.Add('IP subnet mask: ' + pAdapterInfo^.IpAddressList.IpMask.S);
strings.Add('Gateway: ' + pAdapterInfo^.GatewayList.IpAddress.S);
strings.Add('DHCP enabled: ' + IntTOStr(pAdapterInfo^.DhcpEnabled));
strings.Add('DHCP: ' + pAdapterInfo^.DhcpServer.IpAddress.S);
strings.Add('Have WINS: ' + BoolToStr(pAdapterInfo^.HaveWins,True));
strings.Add('Primary WINS: ' + pAdapterInfo^.PrimaryWinsServer.IpAddress.S);
strings.Add('Secondary WINS: ' + pAdapterInfo^.SecondaryWinsServer.IpAddress.S);
pTempAdapterInfo := pAdapterInfo;
pAdapterInfo:= pAdapterInfo^.Next;
if assigned(pAdapterInfo) then Dispose(pTempAdapterInfo);
end;
finally
Dispose(pAdapterInfo);
end;
end;
Jan Schulz's code works fine when properly converted to unicode-friendly Delphi.
I've done some corrections:
As TOndrej has pointed, char must be converted to AnsiChar when needed. In this case, this only occurs in the Padding field of the SockAddr_Gen record, which was not only screwing the record, but also causing SizeOf(Interface_Info), and subsequently NoOfInterfaces, to return a wrong result. Since it's not really a character, it is better to define it as a byte.
Dropped PChars used to hold results of inet_ntoa calls, and assigning TNetworkInterface string fields directly.
Strings in TNetworkInterface are fine, because they are not passed to any api calls. Also, ComputerName is passed to GetComputerName api, which expects a PWideChar/PChar.
