I don't know your OS. With XP Pro it should work

with netsh and pstools. But I didn't test it...

PSTools: info and download

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsTools.html

To save the current network settings, open a dos-shell

and type in: netsh -c interface dump > settings.txt

Now there is a file you can open with notepad and

edit the settings /it should be saved under

C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Settings.txt

Here you have to fill in the desired settings for your

remote pc. The file is well documented and will help

you. When you have finished editing save the file.

With psexec.exe you are able to execute commands

remote on other pcs. For further information look

into the help file.

I would do so or something like that:

Create a script and compile it (name changesettings.exe)

$sNewConfig = 'Paste here the complete settings.txt'

$oFile = FileOpen("C:\Settings.txt", 1)

If $oFile = -1 Then Exit
FileWrite($oFile, $sNewConfig)
FileClose($oFile)

RunWait(@Comspec & " /c netsh -f C:\Settings.txt")
FileDelete("C:\Settings.txt")

The the following commandline:

psexec \\IP -u USER -p PASSWORD -c changesettings.exe

I cannot test it, so you will have to try.

If PSExec doesn't work, you can also add it to the loginscript, using a register variable you can prevent double execution of the script.

Thanks for the input i'll give it a try

AutoIt can write to the registry of a remote computer:

You can change from DHCP to Static at the key for the active NIC:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

(You know the current/active IP to double check the key.)

Then you need to make the NIC reread the info:

use psexec and this script to disable/re-enable the NIC:

(Although I think that a restart would give you less trouble, but I do not know if that meets your criteria of "without interfere the user".)
