Any win32 API to set IP Address?

Hello all,

Anyone knows of any Windows API to set IP address on an adapter(or a
virtual adapter)? We used AddIpAddress from IPHelper but that seems to be
not-permanent(disappers after reboot). Is there a known win32 way of
configuring an IP address without using WMI?

Thanks in advance,
Konda

I don't know how to do that. But there is IPCONFIG utility that can
change IP address. When I want to do something similar to what system
utilities do I always open their executables with Dependency Walker
and look at imported API functions. Then I read in MSDN about these
functions. Usually at this point solution becomes clear.

You can use the IpReleaseAddress and IpRenewAddress fuctions in case your
are having a DHCP. Otherwiese you need the AddIpAddress and DeleteIpAddress
IP Helper functions.
