Hi,
Use the force (WMI) Yu-lin.
It is native for Win2000/XP.
I disconnect cable and it still work.
See my WMI samples:
http://codecentral.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing?id=19443

If you will use BCB6 do not forget to disable speed 
optimization in the Project Options. It is problem of BCB6.
NetAdapterConf - sample name.

Vladimir.
