Current configuration of network adapters in Windows OS can be explored from Network Connections (Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter Settings). Selecting Properties from a right click context menu for chosen connection displays a dialog box which contains Networking tab. It contains the name of the network adapter used by this connection and, below it, a list of network features bound to the adapter. Those features are:
(Adapters are identified with a COM class with GUID GUID_DEVCLASS_NET.)
You can install or uninstall, enable or disable these features manually from that dialog box.
In order to view or modify these networking configuration programmatically we can use a family of COM objects starting with a root one which implements INetCfg interface. When we acquire (pointer to) this object, we can query it for all other interfaces and call methods on them. Common name for these methods is INetCfg API. They are all implemented in Netcfgx.dll. This dll basically contains Network Configuration COM Objects and can be found in C:\Windows\System32.
Following code shows how to use INetCfg API in order to display all network adapters, clients, transports and services. For each client, transport and service we check which adapter it is bound to.

I have omitted here output made by the line marked with (*) as it produces hundreds of lines that list binding paths for a given network device. Here is just one snippet from the full output:
INetCfg API supports modifying networking configuration as well (e.g. changing the order of the protocol bindings). Changes can be made only after a lock is acquired. It is possible to search for a particular network item (without iterating through all of them).
Links and References:
Network Configuration Interfaces (MSDN)
Exploring Network Configuration with the INetCfg COM Interface (CodeProject)
Using COM in Your Windows Program (MSDN)
Introduction to Protocols (The Binding Process)
- network clients (identified with a COM class with GUID GUID_DEVCLASS_NETCLIENT)
- network services (GUID_DEVCLASS_NETSERVICE)
- network protocols (transports) (GUID_DEVCLASS_NETTRANS)
(Adapters are identified with a COM class with GUID GUID_DEVCLASS_NET.)
You can install or uninstall, enable or disable these features manually from that dialog box.
In order to view or modify these networking configuration programmatically we can use a family of COM objects starting with a root one which implements INetCfg interface. When we acquire (pointer to) this object, we can query it for all other interfaces and call methods on them. Common name for these methods is INetCfg API. They are all implemented in Netcfgx.dll. This dll basically contains Network Configuration COM Objects and can be found in C:\Windows\System32.
Following code shows how to use INetCfg API in order to display all network adapters, clients, transports and services. For each client, transport and service we check which adapter it is bound to.

INetCfg API supports modifying networking configuration as well (e.g. changing the order of the protocol bindings). Changes can be made only after a lock is acquired. It is possible to search for a particular network item (without iterating through all of them).

It tremendously helps me!
Have been scratching my head in the past few days. I am in the process of using it through Python. Your example on how to use IEnumNetCfgBindingInterface completely solved my confusion.
Still new in COM here ;)
