In thinking some more about the last post, I remembered that .NET 2.0 could help in getting information about your network connections.  System.Net.NetworkInformation has support for listing your network interfaces, IPv4 and IPv6 statistics, TCP and UDP statistics, and even a NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler.  It even includes Ping functionality (i.e. ICMP). 

Some interesting samples are starting to arrive.  Justin Rogers has a TraceRoute sample based on v2.  3Leaf shows some research of how this namespace is used in the My classes.  The DE from India has some comments on Managed Pinging.  The beta docs (see the above .NET 2.0 link) have several small samples as well.
