It is very easy to do this using WMI and NDIS...

Also, google is your friend (as always), so search first (with the proper logic keywords):

Example code can be found in many places, eg like:

PS: VB (both 6 and .NET) can do virtually anything any other exe can do, you don't need external exe's for anything, as long as you know how it is coded of course; a good example is (un)zipping which can be done perfectly within VB provided you know how ZIPs work and are (un)packed).
