network interface naming on windows machines

[Anthony Montibello]

HI Arlen,

Look into setting up your own custom performance counters via Microsoft,
Technet or MSDN (or google it)

I do not have any links to how to do that, however I have spoken with NC_NEt
users that have custom counters for different reasons.
I am sure a support call to microsoft will be able to assist you in this.
