Hi.

I have an Ethernet network adapter on my computer and it is present in
the network connection list as the "Local Area Connection".
What I want is to "clone" this INetConnection (and all of it's
configuration components) so I could use independent "network
connections", with independent setting sets, but referring to same
physical device. Unfortunately INetConnection::Duplicate (http://
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365096(v=VS.85).aspx) returns
E_NOTIMPL for the connection I have (I believe it's not implemented
for everything except RAS-connections).

Is there any other way to do what I want?

I found the WDK's INetCfgClassSetup::Install method, is it what i'm
looking for? Am I allowed to pass there an existing oemXXX.inf or I'm
supposed to cook it myself? How can I ask WinAPI to give me path to
the cached C:\Windows\inf\oemXXX.inf for the INetCfgComponent I want?
Is it ok for Windows to maintain several independent INetCfgComponent-
s referring to the same physical device?

Thanks in advance. Evgeny.

Maybe netsh can help.
Type "netsh dump" and see what part of the config script you can "replay"
on the new netcard.

Hi Pavel,

That's a great idea. Thank you so much! I never knew the netsh can do
all that stuff. Gonna try if it's enough for what I want

Nope, netsh does a lot of stuff but, as far as I see, you cannot
install any new network adapter/connection with it :(

Correct, but you wanted to replicate configuration of one adapter unto
another?
Adapters are installed by the conventional way.

Another possibility is a device coinstaller, or deeper digging into
INetCfg...
