Programmatically bridge multiple connections

June 18th, 2004 - 09:42 pm ET by g_umadevi | Report spam
Hi,

Microsoft has provided ICS api to programmatically enable sharing on a
public connection. But if there are multiple private connections there
does not seem to be a way to enable sharing. I could see the sharing
icon on the connection but actually the connection is not shared at
all.

EnableSharing() method does not take the list of private connections
to which internet access needs to be enabled. I

Here are my questions:
o Is there any api to programmatically bridge all the available
private connections and enable sharing?
o Is there any api to select 2 or more connections and form a network
bridge and then enable internet access for these connections.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe use forwarding from IPHLPAPI :
CreateIpForwardEntry()/SetIpForwardEntry() ?
