Hi Guys!

Got a small problem...
In W2k/Xp I can use netsh to fix this, but now I have 20 Win98SE Laptops I need to have a funktion on.

I have some users that rotate between 10 network and 9 of those doesn't use DHCP.

My thought was that I would make a menu, that displays some choices and if a user press "1" he gets the address for network 1 and then reboot.
If he presses "D" it will set the computer to DHCP and then reboot.

Any ideas?
Is it possible, or do I have to teach all users how to change this manually?

T.I.A

If you don't mind spending a (little) money there is a commercial solution:
NetSwitcher

Hmmm...
That was an easy way out [Wink]

I think that I'm gonna check this out.
(even if it would have been fun doing it in kix)

Thanks for the tip.

Well...

If we do a little searching here, we could find some potential solutions for you..
changing from static routing env. to DHCP

Look at the note about the Microsoft Recommendation. This should be "undoable" too.

Finally - found a script to set DHCP

Static to DHCP

HTH,

Now that's just unfair... [Smile]

I searched the board four times and I didn't come close to anything like this [Mad]

I bow to you "oh master of searches" [Wink]

This looks REALLY interresting.

Thanks!
