Hi,

Hopefully this should be straight forward – but can’t seem to find it anywhere. How can I change default gateway settings on an XP machine at the command line?

Any suggestions appreciated,

Thanks

No idea about commandline. Is it a LAN connection you are trying to change? If so then in controlpanel>networkconnections rightclick on your LAN connection choose properties and scroll down to TCP/IP Highlight this and press properties tab. You can manually set IP there.

Check the help files on the netsh command. You could likely use it from the command line to change your gateway address.

Curt R is correct.

To change to a static address, type the following command:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static ipaddr subnetmask gateway metric

NOTE: Replace ipaddr with the static IP address, subnetmask with the subnet mask, gateway with the default gateway and, if necessary, metric with the appropriate metric. The following example changes the interface "Local Area Connection" to a static address of 192.168.0.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and the interface has a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 with a metric of 1: Type in the command below for example;

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

Thanks everyone for your help, netsh works a treat now!

How can i change the Default Gateway, or IP Address or SubnetMask on a Windows CE Platform, for both Static and DHCP Configurations?
Many thanks for your help
