How to change IP address programmatically in W2K without rebooting

[Francisco Garcia]

Hi,

I suppose this is a FAQ, but I've searched the newsgroups and haven't found
any message with FAQ address either.

How do I programmatically change TCP/IP settins in W2K without rebooting? I
know how to change it in the registry, but a reboot is necessary.

Thanks in advance

No FAQs in newsgroups : MS remove messages after 30 days ( before was 90
days ) on their forums.
As for question : you need to use EnableStatic() method of
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration interface of WMI.

Sounds to me like you are looking for netsh. netsh is a command line
utility that allows you to change many of the networking properties from a
command window or in a script without rebooting. See
http://www.petri.co.il/configure_tcp_ip_from_cmd.htm (shorter link
http://shorterlink.com/?0MRZR5 ) for a nice tutorial.
