Change gateway and subnet with script?

[WilliamUT]

Is there a script to change the subnet and gateway on a computer? Thanks

 

[sfriday]

The script below has been taken from microsoft's script center, here is the link

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCenter/network/scrnet01.asp

This is to set a static ip address but does the subnet and gateway

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2&quot
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE&quot
strIPAddress = Array("192.168.1.141&quot
strSubnetMask = Array("255.255.255.0&quot
strGateway = Array("192.168.1.100&quot
strGatewayMetric = Array(1)
For Each objNetAdapter in colNetAdapters
errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableStatic(strIPAddress, strSubnetMask)
errGateways = objNetAdapter.SetGateways(strGateway, strGatewaymetric)
If errEnable = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "The IP address has been changed."
Else
WScript.Echo "The IP address could not be changed."
End If
Next

thanks! i actually wrote a script using the netsh command line to accomplish what i needed. Is there a way though to read the subnet and gateway with a script?

again taken from microsoft script centre, you will have to change the script a bit as it will return a lot more info than you require.
