MyPCHealthSet IP Address using a Batch File
This works certainly with Windows XP. It may work with vista or windows 7 but i have not tested. With Windows XP it can sometimes hang. If it does just close the windows and re-run. There is no reason why it hangs and no error in the code. To create a Batch file. Copy the text below into notepad and save the file as a *.bat rather than *.txt
Where items have <> you need to enter the details in there to make it work.
The Code
set varip=<IP ADDRESS>
set varsm=<SUBNET MASK>
set vargw=<GATE WAY IP>
set vardns1=<DNS IP 1>
set vardns2=<DNS IP 2>
netsh int ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = %varip% mask = %varsm%
netsh int ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" gateway = %vargw% gwmetric = 1
netsh int ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = %vardns1%
netsh int ip add dns name = "Local Area Connection" addr = %vardns2%
Reset IP address back to DHCP assigned using a batch file
