Disabling/enabling network adapter from script

I need to change the ip address on an adapter programmatically but the only
way i can figure out how to do it is to modify the ip address in the
registry, disable the network adapter, and then reenable it. Does anyone know
how I might do that? I've searched MSDN and CodeGuru among other places, and
there are lots of hints on adding an ip address, but none on deleting or
modifying it.

Thanks.....kennyb

How about:

strComputer = "."Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")strIPAddress = Array("192.168.1.141")strSubnetMask = Array("255.255.255.0")strGateway = Array("192.168.1.100")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 IfNext
Check: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx for almost everything under scripting.

Hope this helps.
