Hello experts:

Is there an API (not WMI) allows me to set DNS for a particular network
interface on Windows-XP ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I think it is one of those parameters that you can only change in the
registry or WMI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{Adapter GUID} NameServer=10.10.10.1

Other than WMI, using a reg file, and/or using regini, you can also use
netsh. Here are some links on it.
