problem with netsh remote

[MichelS]

Hallo,

i have to change the subnetmask data for a few clients; dhcp will be implemented in the future.

I tried

"netsh -r 10.xxx.xxx.xxx int ip set address name="LAN-Verbindung" source=static 10.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.xxx.xxx 10.xxx.xxx.xxx 1" ("LAN-Verbindung" is like "local network&quot

and get

"Error obtaining configuration for interface LAN-Verbindung."

Both PC´s are in the same ViLAN.
I started the remoteaccess service on the destination machine.
With &quot;netsh -r <client> int ip show ...&quot; i get the right informations, so network connection seems right.

Is there a (free) tool i can try instead?
Seems so, i have to go to every single machine and do it manually.;-)


Greetings
Michel

netsh -r 10.xxx.xxx.xxx -c interface ip set address name=LAN-Verbindung source=static addr=10.xxx.xxx.xxx mask=255.255.xxx.xxx gateway=10.xxx.xxx.xxx gwmetric=1

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately no difference.

If the remote machine is a server, you can only do this in a Terminal Services session.

If the remote machine is a XP client, you can only do this in a Remote Desktop session.

Is there a reason not to use the UNC name for the machines?
If you are attempting to cross a subnet you might well be blocked by a firewall.

Finally, there are permissions issues. You must be a member of the Domain Administrator group, and for XP the Domain Administrator group should be added to the local security principals.

Sorry, I forgot to wrote that all machines are W2k WS.
I tried UNC, no difference.
For testing i used two machines of the same subnet.
My User is member of the Domain Administrator Group.
