#170559 - 06/11/21 05:15 PM Changing default gateway with NETSH
Brian Chivers Brian Chivers Fresh Scripter Registered: 02/08/15 Posts: 10 Loc: UK	I'm trying to write a script to change serveral machines default gateway. I've sucessfully done it with using the command below netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection 2" gateway=192.168.0.2 gw=1 The problem I have is that not all the machines use the "Local Area Connection 2" name and as far as I can see netsh won't allow you to use a wildcard in the section after address so something like this netsh interface ip set address * gateway=192.168.0.2 gw=1 If you type netsh interface ip show config you get Configuration for interface "Local Area Connection 2" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 192.168.200.101 SubnetMask: 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.2 GatewayMetric: 1 InterfaceMetric: 1 Statically Configured DNS Servers: 192.168.0.1 Statically Configured WINS Servers: None What I think I need to do is to read in the first line and strip off all the info except for the "Local Area Connection 2" bit and then store this in a variable and pass this to the script. Alternatively I could just run the script twice once against "Local Area Connection" & once again "Local Area Connection 2" and let it error out Any idea's or pointers would be gratefully received Thanks Brian netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection 2" gateway=192.168.0.2 gw=1

One of the items is the adapter name. You could do something like Code: $Name = NicInfo()[0][12] $Cmd = 'netsh interface ip set address "' + $Name + '" gateway=192.168.0.2 gw=1' Shell $Cmd This example assumes a single NIC is located, and returns the 12th element of the first NIC in the NIC array. (This is an array of arrays.) Alan (AlPo) has a similar UDF, but I'm not sure if it enumerates all of the network adapters. Glenn

EnumNetworkConnections() GetIPOptions() SetIPOptions() _________________________ Is this too much to ask? If you ask a question... follow up and say if it worked, OR even a Thanks would be nice.
