script to configure network in Win2000

CAS_2 — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 02:04:36 GMT

Hi.

I move my laptop from a client HQ to another client HQ. In each client HQ, I have a fix IP.

Then when I move from one to another I must enter "Control Panel -> Lan" to remove newtwork settings and set new ones. I thought a new icon could be set for every LAN configuration but I think it is not possible. Then I thought to set LAN settings by means of a script...

but I don't know all features.
I can set IP by means of ipconfig command, but
how can I set DNS settings and Domain names ?

Thanks

In TCP IP advanced properties, you can configure more than 1 IP address to the same adapter.

You can configure an IP to every lan that you connect, and the problem is solved. You won't have to run any script or reconfiguration program.

If you want to use script, you could use the netsh interface ip command.

netsh ip interface is the way to go. That way you can configure ip addresses and domainnames etc.

Hi,

Here are two scripts, one to set a static ip, one to set to dhcp. They does not set domain name though.

I wrote a visual basic program which uses these scripts that is able to save profile of each client. If you drop an email, i can send it to you.

There is a commercial program i remember which can set domain name etc also, but i do not remember the name at the moment.

Same answer, very different points, frustrating.
