Question

I want to set the IP address, subnet and gateway using netsh. I have Windows XP on my computer.
When I type the command:

set address "Local Area Connection" static ipAdd sub gateway

I get this error:

Environment variable address “Local Area Connection” static ipAdd sub gateway not defined

When I type:

netsh interface ip  set address "Local Area Connection" static ipAdd sub gateway

I get a different error:

the following command was not found.

The DNS and WINS details were successfully set, and I can set the IP settings by typing them by in the Internet Protocol Panel.

Answer 1

The right syntax for the setting ip address command via netsh is :

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

and setting the dns with the next line :

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200 primary

add secondary dns :

netsh interface ip add dns "Local Area Connection" 192.168.0.201 index=2
