Hi,

As the subject line says it all.

I want a notification to be generated , when lan cable is unplugged, or wifi signal is disabled.

I am able to enumerate all lan adapters and wifi adapters. But i don't want to keep my thread running continuously.

So i need a network notification which can signal my win32 service to do further processing.

Any anybody help me out.
