Hi

This is very important that i know this...

I have created a vbscript that detects the NIC's IP Address and if the IP address is withing the conditions - it stops the following services:

Smart Card Service
Wireless Zone Configuration Service

Under the group policy set - user's cannot start services - so they cannot connect into a wireless network.

PROBLEM: When the user logs into the network with a network cable its fine, my script works.

But...

If they take out the network cable, and re-insert it? what happens - it assigns a DHCP address -

or if they log on locally - then they insert the network cable - it picks up an IP and wireless is available...

** I want to know either the following...

what triggers or whats the event that occurs when a network cable is inserted? how can i stop this? how can i possible trigger a VBScript to run when a network cable is inserted? is this possible? i know that there are apps for this (i.e. IPSwicther), but i want to avoid 3rd party apps...

I want to know whether it is possible to run my script when the network cable is inserted or removed?
Can anyone help???

Im very desperate!!!

The plug in network cable event is probably a window message of some kind, probably hardware related. I'd suggest setting up some code that hooks the system message stream (WH_SYSMSGFILTER) and dumps the output. See if anything interesting goes past when you plug/unplug the cable!
