Adapter-name

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters

Description

The adapter-name subkeys represent network adapters or network adapter drivers, and they are named for the network identifiers. Each subkey represents a particular adapter, and it stores configuration data that applies only to that adapter.

Most of the entries described here as being stored in the adapter-name subkey can appear in any of the subkeys in the Adapters subkey.

Some entries can appear in both the Parameters subkey and the adapter-name subkeys. If an entry appears in the Parameters subkey, then its value applies to all adapters by default. If the entry appears in an adapter-name subkey, then its value applies only to the adapter that the subkey represents, and it takes precedence over the value in the Parameters subkey when configuring this particular adapter.

The adapter-name subkey is a variable representing the subkeys in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters subkey. It does not actually appear in the registry. This subkey displays information that is common to the entries in the Adapters subkey.
