Non-GUI change for IP addressing?

Is there a non-GUI way to change IP addresses in the network settings? I
believe I need to change the DNS entries in network settings however every
time I open 'Network Connections' the server locks up and requires a reboot.
Help?
 
Lots of good scripts there. I looked at almost all however did not find
anything to change the present DNS settings to other IPs. I'm
troubleshooting a SBS2003 box that hangs everytime you attempt to go into
'Network Connections' to change the DNS IPs from the ISP's numbers to the
server's IP utilizing 'forwarders' to resolve to the outside. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help.

The trick for learning to do NetSH is to manual
configure a machine (GUI) then use the Netsh
"Dump" to dump out the settings.

Edit the file down and use the EXEC to configure
it again.
 
I read in the links you sent where I can reset the Static IP, the netmask and
the gateway address. Can I also utilize the same netsh command to continue
the task and change the two DNS IPs as well?

Yes.

You can change just about anything.

Do a netsh.exe dump and look at the stuff it knows.
