Showing Network Connections

I was wondering if it would be possible to pull the current network connections from somewhere and have them displayed in the installer.

I have a program that uses static IP addresses and if I could save a file with the NIC+IP during install it would be helpful.

There are examples available at http://nsis.sf.net/archive

If you have experience with Windows programming, try to search MSDN for Windows APIs that allow you to retrieve these names. You can call Windows API from NSIS scripts using the System plug-in.
