Free Laptop and Notebook Information

Is there a way to set the “Alternate IP” info on a laptop through the command prompt?

I can set a static address using “netsh int ip set address local”. When I try a dump after manualy setting the Alternate IP it only shows the DHCP settings and nothing about the alternate IP. Is there a way to automate setting the alternate IP via batch files?

  This isn’t a complete answer but i have noticed these articles regarding netsh on the tech republic website, registration is free, i believe it is run by zdnet or pcmag not sure which. The last entry is from a forum question which implies that you can from the netsh command to set dns information. Hope this steers you in the right direction or that it helps.

  here is an example regarding dns setting in a batch file that may be of assistance

  netsh interface ip set dns /?

  you can take it from here…

  netsh interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” static 192.168.10.10 primary

  edit the ip address and primary/ secondary tag accordingly
