I have problems with these instructions on windows 7 computer. I create a file with the extension add the jscript commands to the beginning and end of the script you placed in the coding box above and then attempt to run.

It says error Line 1, Char 15. Error 80040049
Has something to do with the adding of the
section

Has anyone been able to incorporate the DNS code?

netsh or any other handy tools will be more useful

Thank you for the response Ryan, But I am unable to incorporate it altogether, it keeps on giving me errors. I am sure you can guess scripting is not one of my strong suit. :) Cheers

Hey Murgichoor – maybe this code that I found online would help:

“For Each objNetAdapter in colNetAdapters
arrDNSServers = Array(sDNS1, sDNS2)
objNetAdapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder(arrDNSServers)
Next”

sDNS1 and sDNS2 are the two strings holding the two DNS Servers

then why don’t you test it first before you comment?

Can probably use netsh commands like
netsh interface ipv4 set address

For DHCP
sc stop dhcp
sc config “dhcp” start= disabled

Would probably work, thou i didn’t test.
