Hello,

    I am trying to programmatically setup an IP adapter (static IP, subnet
mask, default gateway, etc...) based on data in a configuration file. I am
aware of the IP Helper API function AddIPAddress which can be used to add an
IP address to a network adapter. I would also like to set the default
gateway, DNS server, alt DNS server, WINS server, alt WINS server
programmatically. Is this possible? If the only way to do this is via the
Registry then what keys do I modify? Any advice is appreciated.
