Hi:
I am trying to use the example in MSDN library. I wrote the following
class to compile with other source files to generate an executable.
But always get link error saying that _GetAdapatersAddresses() function
is missing. How can I remove this error and build an executable. I am
using .NET 2003 c++ compiler.

Below I have listed file content, linker options and error output.
Thanks in advance
