The Network Cards window displays the following information.

NOTE: The network interface information listed below covers all possible fields. This list may include fields that are not displayed when running certain operating systems. 

Name of the Network Interface

Vendor Displays the name of the company that sells the network interface.
Current MAC Address Displays the media access control address. On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC address is your system's unique hardware number. 
IP Address Provides the address of a system or device attached to a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network. Every system and device, such as a network attached storage device, must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are formatted in four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
Subnet Mask Displays the required setting on any host that communicates on an IP network. Subnet mask usually takes the same format as an IP address, except that the values usually are either 255 or 0. The boundary between the network and node address is on a dot between the last 255 and the first 0, sometimes referred to as the byte boundary. An example subnet mask value is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server Displays the IP address of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Default Gateway A network point that acts as the entrance to a network.
Connection Status Indicates whether the system is connected to the network or not.
TOE Capable Indicates whether TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) support is available.
TOE Enabled Indicates whether TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) support is enabled.
Driver Image Path Displays the path where drivers for the network interfaces are stored.
Driver Version Displays the version number of the driver for the network interface.
IRQ Used by Interface Displays the IRQ (interrupt request line) number used by the network interface.
