    NetworkInterface[] adapters  = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
    {
        IPInterfaceProperties adapterProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
        IPAddressInformationCollection anyCast = adapterProperties.AnycastAddresses;
        if (anyCast.Count >0)
        {

            Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
            foreach (IPAddressInformation any in anyCast)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("  Anycast Address .......................... : {0} {1} {2}",
                    any.Address,
                    any.IsTransient ? "Transient" : "",
                    any.IsDnsEligible ? "DNS Eligible" : ""
                );
                count++;
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
    if (count == 0)
    {
