Hi
 
I wanted to know what is the best way to know the internet connection type/Speed of the user?
I tried couple of things like using following code
 
strServer = "."

Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strServer & "/root\WMI")
Set objInstances = objWMI.InstancesOf("MSNdis_LinkSpeed",48)

On Error Resume Next
For Each objInstance in objInstances
    With objInstance
        WScript.Echo .Active
        WScript.Echo .InstanceName
        WScript.Echo .NdisLinkSpeed
    End With
On Error Goto 0
Next
 
I get RPC Server not available?

It looks like you have issues with WMI on your PC.
 
Go to Microsoft Downloads and download WMIDiag and follow the instuctions in the included documents.

I get invalid name space when i use the following js code:
 

var locator = new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");

var service = locator.ConnectServer("\root\WMI");

var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM MSNdis_LinkSpeed");

var e = new Enumerator(properties);

var p;

for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {

p = e.item();

}

processorInfo = p.NdisLinkSpeed;

any reasons? I am trying to find the connection speed in XP machine? if there is any better way to detect can any of you share the logic?

 
Thanks in Advance..

Opps:
 
You changed languages.  You started with vbscript and switched to JScript.
 
Here:


var locator = new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var service = locator.ConnectServer(".","root/WMI");
var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM MSNdis_LinkSpeed");
var e = new Enumerator(properties);


for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
    var p = e.item();
    WScript.Echo(p.NdisLinkSpeed)
}

nivetha - that is not the question that was asked.  It is not a scripted answer. 
 
I don't yhink you intended this but Ihat website is also known as a source of malware.  It tries to install an ActiveX control that may be used for inserting trojans.
 
It does NOT give you the connection speed of a network card.
