swich lan connection

[Guest haar3]

hi

is it possible to make a script that changes my gateway and dns on my lan connection?

my problem is that i have 2 networks and every time i switch i have to edit the gateway an dns, in tcp/ip.

This must be something i can do in one-click with autoit, with 2 scripts, network1, network2 ?

thanks

if you have the MS Platform SDK (free download from MSDN) check out this url in SDK: ms-help://MS.PSDKSVR2003SP1.1033/wmisdk/wmi/win32_networkadapterconfiguration.htm

i would just paste it, but there are alot of properties and methods listed, and it would make this post just HUGE. The explanation header on it is...

The Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WMI class represents the attributes and behaviors of a network adapter. This class includes extra properties and methods that support the management of the TCP/IP and Internetworking Packet Exchange (IPX) protocols that are independent from the network adapter.

i believe that implementing that class would be a good 'behind the scenes' solution to your issue, but for a quick easy solution, you could just do it the old fashioned way and use ControlSend()'s etc, and have the script go through and change the settings just like you would do it yourself.

Can you fileinstalled netsh to your 98 machine ? isnt it a stand alone exe? Or am i missing something really obvious here ?

If you could simply install it then you could just do

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.2

Assuming it makes changes to network using that WMI Class, there are some properties and methods that are not supported prior to win2k. depending on how it works, i could see it failing on a 98 system
