No need for VBS. You can use one-line netsh commands to switch back and
forth. Short and simple.

When you're in the office, the below command sets the IP address of the NIC
named "Local Area Connection" to 192.168.0.10, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0,
default gateway address to 192.168.0.1 and metric to 10.

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 10

When you need DHCP:

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

I actually did something similar for my brother-in-law for his laptop using
WMI. Of course I had a little help from the folks in the VB group and the
private MVP group. Unfortunately it wound up being two separate scripts, one
to run when home, one torun when at work. I didn't pursue it enough because
I don't have enough knowledge writing scripts, to combine them with prompts
asking what part you want run.

For Calros, I got my intial script pieces from
http://cwashington.netreach.net and from teh Script Center at
www.technet.com. The scripts are all free and can be customized. Of course
you can take what Todd suggested and put them into a batch file as well,
place them on your desktop, and double click on them when needed.

I don't know much about VB other than the simple stuff, but if I were you I
would start by reading up on it at some VB websites. I went to Google and
searched for 'learn vb' and got this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=learn+vb

You can also attend courses on it. Microsoft has many courses on VB from
beginner courses to advanced.
This is the main course lookup website at Microsoft. Just click on the
drop-down box and you can see there are multiple courses for multiple
versions of VB.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/tr...indcourse.mspx

If you want VB Scripting, for example, as it appears that's what you may
want to administer a machine, choose "Microsoft Windows Scripting Host" in
the drop-down box. The result comes up with MOC (Microsoft Official
Curriculum) Course # 2433:
"2433: Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition and Microsoft Windows®
Script Host Essentials"

There are also numerous books written on the subject. You can check your
favorite book store. Maybe someone else may have a better suggestion.

Dear everybody
I wanna manage my OS or Server System by VBs for example I wanna
assign my laptop IP address when I'm in my office , and when I back to
my home I wanna automatic obtain my IP address by router to Internet
I don't wanna configure in manually , i wanna just use a VBs to set my
work environment quickly , so everybody who can tell me how to write
this script or tell me how to get such information,

PS:I wanna to learn VBs

Your Sincerely
YuHsiang Lo , Calros

another way to configure 2 ip addresses (1 for home and another for
work) is by using Windows XP feature of Alternate IP addressing.
Here you can configure 2 IP addresses for one NIC. Just go to the NIC's
TCP/IP properties, there are 2 tab's General and Alternate
Configuration.
But nywayz it is always good to learn some scripting tools...

Thank you very much
But can you tell me where to learn VBs about manage OS or others
