NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY enumeration (netlistmgr.h)

  • Article

The NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY enumeration is a set of flags that specify the category type of a network.

Syntax

typedef enum NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY {
  NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_PUBLIC = 0,
  NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_PRIVATE = 0x1,
  NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_DOMAIN_AUTHENTICATED = 0x2
} ;

Constants

 
NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_PUBLIC
Value: 0
The network is a public (untrusted) network.
NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_PRIVATE
Value: 0x1
The network is a private (trusted) network.
NLM_NETWORK_CATEGORY_DOMAIN_AUTHENTICATED
Value: 0x2
The network is authenticated against an Active Directory domain.

Remarks

The private or public network categories must never be used to assume which Windows Firewall ports are open, as the user can change the default settings of these categories. Instead, Firewall APIs should be called to ensure the ports that the required ports are open.
