Is it possible to make a .bat file to do this?

[EQTitan]

I'm wondering if there is a way to create a .bat file (I think it's a .bat file)

Double click .bat

Enable LAN if disabled
changes DNS of Local Area Connection to 4.2.2.1 (primary) 4.2.2.2 (secondary)
close

Need that to work on Windows98 - XP


and also need one to do this

Enable LAN if disabled
Change LAN IP to 192.168.100.10
Subnet to 255.255.255.0
close

I don't think you can change that stuff on the fly in Win9X so that's probably out, but you should be able to do all of that for XP with netsh.

Any idea on how to write it out. The only command I know for netsh is "netsh reset winsock"....

Just type netsh and it'll put you into the netsh shell then type help.

From the netsh command site of Microsoft

Example : set dns [name=]InterfaceName [source=]{dhcp | static [addr=]{DNSAddress | none}} [[ddns=]{disabled | enabled}] [[suffix=]{interface | primary}]

DNS would be static, with primary 4.2.2.1 secondary 4.2.2.2

Yup

Ok, found a nice little .bat file that calls out to .txt files but I still can't make the alternate DNS change. I need the alt to be 4.2.2.2 Can anyone point me in the right direction?
