Anyone know how to read status of the IP Config from the registry

[Elkie]

I try to make an Net Configuration tools but i get a problem on one thing, i don't know how to retrieve the Network configuration from the registry so it will automatically set the status when the script is loaded.

I can make changes for switching from static to DHCP and vice versa, all i need now is to read the registry to set the status.

anyone have the solution? thanks

RegRead, RegWrite and RegDelete are three very useful built-in functions for reading and manipulating the registry. Let us know where you get stuck.

Yes i know about those commands it's just that i don't know exactly where windows keeps the fixed registry key for the settings

i found it HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{D45685A6-509E-4D3B-B87E-C714D70D7}

but the question is what if this script runs on another PC with different adapter than mine, will the registry key change?

that's what i really need, a fixed registry address which i can use to read the settings and can be used on any PC.

Please let me know

While I have not looked into it, I think WMI can get this information for you.

There is this incredibly useful UDF file called compinfo.au3. See http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...hl=compinfo.au3

The _computerGetNetworkCards function seems of interest in this specific case.
