change LAN interface IP

General

Hi All.

Having a little issue here with a shell command I am running, to change the IP Address of my LAN automatically.

When I run any other command with my shell (ie: dir, netstat, etc) everything runs just fine.

However when I try to run
netsh interface ip set address name=“Local Area Connection” source=static addr=192.168.0.100 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.0.1

I get a shell timeout. I have increased the timeout to 5000 and it still happens.
Any ideas?

Regards

When you run it manually does it ask for a password ?

Hi Norman.

No it doesn’t… when I run it manually it just “goes”…

An update.

I think it might be a winDOZE command issue. Now when I run the program it tells me

is not an acceptable value for source.
if I try to set it to dhcp, that works fine!

I will keep digging and advise

Well figured it out…
(mumble grumble windows documentation… )

Ahem…

IF anyone needs this command, for your shell to change the IP address of your Local Area Connection, use:

s.Execute "netsh interface ip set address ""Local Area Connection"" static 10.10.11.2 255.255.255.0 10.10.11.1 1"

Hope this helps someone…
