Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew how I might be able to create a script in windows 2000 Pro to automatically switch between my two network adapters without having to manually do it. I know there is a way with netsh, does anyone know of a good tutoitial as I am confused on the syntax? I have my normal Integrated nic and I also have a wireless lan card on my laptop and am constantly switching between the two, both adapters would be in my 192.168.1.x private address range, I also need toable to switch my integrated nic between static and DHCP Address' I wish to be able to switch between interfaces and changing IP address, default gateway, and DNS servers.

Thank You

Since you are not fimiliar with netsh there is a GUI program out that the does the same thing. You can find it at:

Also if you upgraded to XP Pro it will switch between the adapters automatically. It is supposedto. If you have both network cards setup and unplug the wire it should automatically go to the wireless. And once you plug back it should go back.

Hope this Helps.
