The GetNetworkParams function retrieves network parameters for the local computer.

VB4-32,5,6
Declare Function GetNetworkParams Lib "IPHlpApi" (FixedInfo As Any, pOutBufLen As Long) As Long

Operating Systems Supported
Requires Windows 2000 or later; Requires Windows 98 or later

Library
Iphlpapi

Parameter Information
- pFixedInfo
[out] Pointer to a FIXED_INFO structure that receives the network parameters for the local computer.

- pOutBufLen
[in] Pointer to a ULONG variable that specifies the size of the FIXED_INFO structure. If this size is insufficient to hold the information, GetNetworkParams fills in this variable with the required size, and returns an error code of ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error codes.

ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
The buffer size indicated by the pOutBufLen parameter is too small to hold the adapter information. The pOutBufLen parameter points to the required size.
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
The pOutBufLen parameter is NULL, or the calling process does not have read/write access to the memory pointed to by pOutBufLen, or the calling process does not have write access to the memory pointed to by the pAdapterInfo parameter.
ERROR_NO_DATA
No adapter information exists for the local computer.
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
GetNetworkParams is not supported by the operating system running on the local computer.
Other
If the function fails, use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error.
