can I change ip address without rebooting w. W98?
Hi all,
I am configuring a network and need to change the ip address all the time on a test-laptop requiring me to reboot it endlessly. Is there a way to change the ip address of a network card without having to reboot the system? thanks, BN |

put finger to keyboard and composed: Is there a way to change the ip address of a network card without having to reboot the system? AFAICT, the NIC's fixed IP address will be written to the "IPAddress" parameter at the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\NetTrans\000n Unfortunately, after modifying the address I was unable to make Winipcfg see the new one. It appears that the NIC retains the address that is found in the registry at bootup. :-( Perhaps you could make the changes less tedious by automating them with a simple batch routine that allows you to input the new IP address, update the registry, and then reboot. Post back here if you would like help with this, or try asking the experts at alt.msdos.batch. -- Franc Zabkar Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
