Chinasmoker · February 5, 2007

R there some functions that they can set IP and computer name?

Thanks any way

Not that i can see after a quick skim over the forums and the help file..

why not track down a VB script that does it, and then convert it to an autoIT script?

The computer name can be changed in a registry setting, so the answer is yes, would just be a 1 liner. The IP address, which are you speaking of?

I touch this class script first time,much knowledge to be learned for me ,bit by bit to hard study,

eg. I want to set ip of the first adapter :192.168.0.1 ,mask 255.255.255.0,gateway 192.168.0.254,DNS server1: 218.XXX.XXX.XXX,DNS server2: 202.XXX.XXX.XXX,

Not sure if AutoIT can do it... but here is how to do it in a batch file:

c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

Change the name="" to whatever adapter you wish to change.

everything else should hopefully be straight forward.

you could use it in an @comsec style command...

Netsh.exe is included with Windows XP (Pro defineately, check others first)

if you need more help on netsh, open a CMD and run netsh /?

hope this helps you out.

I've looked at this before but the issue I saw with this is if you have more than One network card you can't specify which card to change, with the netsh option above you specify the connection name.

I'm sure there must be a way to specify which network adapter to change with WMI though

The NETSH command line works fine for me. However, now I want to change the DNS on a remote computer on the network. The only way I could think of doing it was to put the NETSH command in a .BAT file and copy it to the remote computer's startup folder. However this would only take effect on the next boot. Is there any way of doing it immediately?

covaks · April 9, 2008

This is a combination of two separate scripts I posted a few months back. You need to know the name of the adapter you want to change. In my example below (my laptop) it was "Wireless Network Connection". This way if you have more than one adapter enabled it will go by name.

Dim $IP[1]
Dim $DNS[2]
Dim $Subnet[1]
Dim $Gateway[1]

$strComputer = "."

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$objClass = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter")

For $obj in $objClass
    If $obj.NetConnectionID = "Wireless Network Connection" Then $iIndex = $obj.Index
Next

$collection = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")

$IP[0] = "10.0.0.5"
$Subnet[0] = "255.0.0.0"
$Gateway[0] = "10.0.0.1"
$DNS[0] = "4.2.2.1"
$DNS[1] = "4.2.2.2"

For $obj in $collection

    If $iIndex = $obj.Index Then
        $err = $obj.EnableStatic($IP,$Subnet)
        $err2 = $obj.SetGateways($Gateway)
        $err3 = $obj.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNS)
   
        If $err = 1 Then
            MsgBox(1,"","Unable to set static IP until reboot")
        ElseIf $err > 1 Then
            MsgBox(1,"","Unable to set IP")
        EndIf
   
        ;etc err2, err3..
    EndIf
Next

You could use RegEnumKey() here:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\"

to get your nic names and service names.

Dim $key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\"

        $ServiceName=RegRead ( $key & $nic, "ServiceName" )
        If $Description <> "" And $ServiceName <> "" Then MsgBox(0,"", $Description & @CRLF & $ServiceName)
    Next

Use ServiceName here:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\" & $ServiceName & "\Parameters\Tcpip"

to read\ write the adapter IP, DHCP status, gateway, etc.

            $SubnetMask=RegRead ( $AdapterInfo, "SubnetMask" )

You can use the registry functions in AutoIt, however, they still aren't a guarantee to make the IP address effective unless the computer is rebooted or system is refreshed to use the new settings. I think using NetSh in some ways is a good way to get the IP information and to change it because it does it dynamically.

I have messed around with using registry settings and the Network Cards section isn't full proof either. In some cases there may or may not be a network card indicated by the numbers there or the numbers can be higher than 10.

Also, someone posted this way to get the syntax/script for Netsh (if you want another way to understand netsh which is a pretty powerful command)...

Net Switcher

If there was a way to get the NetSh output to avoid writing to disk and output information directly to AutoIt, that would be a nice thing.

Log54321_tw's post does show another way to do it using WMI...I am not that familiar with using WMI but it would be nice because it avoids the 'writing to disk portion'.

If there was a way to get the NetSh output to avoid writing to disk and output information directly to AutoIt, that would be a nice thing.

see this post:

#505433

Following the example from the post above:

MsgBox(64, 'DOS', _getDOSOutput('netsh -c interface dump'))

Func _getDOSOutput($command)
    Local $text = '', $Pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $command, '', @SW_HIDE, 2 + 4)
    While 1
        $text &= StdoutRead($Pid)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    Return $text
EndFunc  ;==>_getDOSOutput
