I use my computer to communicate with a piece of hardware via ethernet. To communicate with this device I set my ip to 192 168 0 11, subnet mask to 255 255 255 0, and defaul
You can use vbscript to change IP Address,
Dim strIPAddress, strSubnetMask,strGateway, intGatewayMetric, strDns1, strDns2, objWMIService, colItems, stradaptername, objFSO
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForAppending = 8
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set OutPutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\ProgramData\test.txt" ,2 , True)
Set InterfaceName = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapter Where NetConnectionStatus >= 0")
If objFSO.FileExists("C:\ProgramData\test.txt") Then
Set OutPutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\ProgramData\test1.txt" ,2 , True)
End If
For Each objItem in InterfaceName
If objFSO.FileExists("C:\ProgramData\test.txt") Then
arrInterfaces = objItem.NetConnectionID
'wscript.echo "test: " &arrInterfaces
Set objFileToWrite = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("C:\ProgramData\test.txt",8,true)
ObjFileToWrite.WriteLine(arrInterfaces)
objFileToWrite.Close
