    Here's an "alternate" method of calling the API using byte arrays rather
    than strings as per the KB article. Perhaps it works on ME? No one has
    complained to me (yet) that it doesn't.
    http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/getadaptersinfo-dhcpserveraddress.htm

    This demo does not show all that the KB demo does, but you should be able to
    get the information you require by seeing how the data is handled.
