How to set IP address

[txj]

I want to set my host's IP address, who can tell me which Win32API can do it.

You can try running a cmd prompt and using it to execute a string you built...

$cmd='netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.50 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1 1'
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd, "", @SW_SHOW)

I tested this code, but run time is between 4~22 seconds in my 2 computers which runs Win2K, other is WinXP, too slow, so I hope to call Win32API to set my host's IP address.

I didn't have a chance to test it, so I'm surprised it worked at all...at least on the first shot anyway. Good luck with your Win API... can you post it if you get it figured out?

It's doing it using WMI. Good-luck, I don't believe it's faster but anyway, good-luck.
