For my job, I have to change the IP address of my computer
freguently, sometimes several times daily. Doing this using the Windows
GUI is cumbersome. In an attempt to save time and effort, I did some research
and discovered the Windows netsh.exe command. Being
an old DOS guy, I wrote a series of BAT commands and have created the following ZIP
files containing them. Download the ZIP and extract them to your desktop. Most of them
will run as icons. Example.. Click the icon on your desktop called DHCP.BAT and
restore your ethernet connection to DHCP that quickly. But you'll also
see ChangeIP.BAT that is a pretty powerful BAT command that
will allow you to change IP, mask, gateway, DNS at will from a command prompt,
bypassing the Win GUI. Must be run from a command prompt, not as an icon. Simply
open a command prompt and run it and you will see a help screen with sample usages.
You can also open it with notepad for additonal help info in the REMarks. Note.. the
syntax changes with different versions of Windows. We now have a version for WWTS
Windows Tablet. NOTE .. may have to run as administrator Right click and "save as" to download one of the following zip files. Windows XP / Vista /7 Version Windows 8 /10 Version Windows Tablet Version (for WWTS Techs) Other helpful BAT commands for WWTS TABLETS.
