Thank you for that piece of advice!!

I have modified a portion of the code so that it correctly
detects the connections status of the specified nic. All that is left if to modify this code to allow me use WMI to monitor events.

TComInterface< IWbemServices > service;
hr = locator->ConnectServer( WideString("root\\cimv2"), 
                             NULL, NULL, NULL,		  		             WBEM_FLAG_CONNECT_USE_MAX_WAIT,
			     NULL, NULL, &service );
if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
   IEnumWbemClassObject* pEnumerator = NULL;
   hr = service->ExecQuery( WideString("WQL"),
						WideString("select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter Where Description = \"Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection\" And NetConnectionStatus = 0"),							WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY,
		NULL,
                &pEnumerator);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
   ShowMessage("Query Failed");
   return;
}

IWbemClassObject *pclsObj;
ULONG uReturn = 0;

while (pEnumerator)
{
   HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE,
                                  1,
                                  &pclsObj,
                                  &uReturn);

   if(0 == uReturn)
   {
      break;
   }

   VARIANT vtProp; 
   // Get the value of the Name property
   hr = pclsObj->Get(WideString("NetConnectionStatus"),
                     0, &vtProp, 0, 0);

   //add code to check connection
   VariantClear(&vtProp);
}
