I am trying to combine code which grabs the ip address of a server
from
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...751466d5406803

then set it to a 2nd NIC via the netsh command

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection 2" static IP
ADDRESS



is it possible to set this as a variable obtained from code in the 1st
part???

Also have been trying to use the the netsh command for only the
ipaddress without wiping the rest of the details ie subnet/default
gateway/dns etc.

Since netsh.exe is a console command, it would simplify things
considerably if you used a batch file to extract and set your
IP address instead of shelling out of a VB Script. The following
code will do it:

1. @echo off
2. net start | find /i "Routing and Remote Access" > nul && goto Netsh
3. sc config "RemoteAccess" start= demand
4. net start "RemoteAccess"
5.
6. :Netsh
7. for /F %%a in ('netsh interface ip show ipaddress ^| find /i "wireless"')
do set IP=%%a
8. echo IP=%IP%

You must replace the word "wireless" with a non-ambiguous word
of your own NIC as shown in the Interface column of the command

netsh interface ip show ipaddress

Be careful with Line 3 - the space following the = is critical.
