Using Netsh in XP

There is a way to use "netsh" to dump your configuration either dhcp or
static address. You can then change the file extension to a batch file and
just double-click on either and it will set your network adapter to those
properties.

I have seen this done before but can't get it to work. Someone help. Thanks
in advance.

You need to be in the netsh interface ip context. The command you want is
'set address'. See:

Ive tried setting the adapter properties and then dumping the config. I
rename that file to batch but it doesnt change from dhcp to static. Cant
remember how it's done.

Hi,

You cannot rename the dump file to a batch file, but you can
import the dump by using the -f switch.


Here is a batch file example:

netsh.exe -f c:\netsh\ADSL_Netsh.dmp
@echo.
@echo.
ipconfig.exe /release
@echo.
@echo.
@echo Press any key to run ipconfig.exe /renew
pause
ipconfig.exe /renew
pause

That's what I'm doing wrong then. However I know that what I saw before was
2 batch files (e.g. dhcp.bat. static.bat) you could click on either and it
would set your adapter properties. The netsh dump command was used to create
the output.

Thanks for all the help. I found the article. You simply open notepad and
type in the command/s. Save as .cmd file and run it. It changes the adapter
properties. I actually saved as a batch file and placed each on the desktop.
