Ever wondered if you could set all the networking parameters through command prompt ? Well there is a way;
netsh int ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” source=dhcp
Above for Dynamic ip address assignment;
netsh int ip set address local static 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 1
Above for static ip and gateway
netsh int ip set dns “Local Area Connection” 10.0.0.1
Above for DNS
netsh int ip add dns “Local Area Connection” 10.0.0.3 index=2
Above for secondary dns
How to set ip address thru command mode
That is exactly what is statement above
Go to command prompt. Start Menu->Run->CMD
and then type the entry you want to make. If you want to set the ip address;
netsh int ip set address local static 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 1
Alternatively you can create a batch file and put this line in there. On double click, it will get executed.
