Hi friends I am new to Mac-OS-X development.. I want to get the users Network details just for displaying it in my application. Details such as the IP address, Subnet mask, status whether connected or not, etc.

Is it possible to get the same??

And secondly, Is the IP address different for wireless lan connections and the normal ethernet connections?? I am a little weak at networking concepts...

Any help will be appreciated..

note: I already tried searching the apple developer site for leads but wat i could find is only the System Configuration Programming guide.. Which didnt help much...

Thank you...

The IP address is the same regardless whether it's wireless or wired
