Use the "netsh" command in a batch file. To change a static IP
configuration, the command is:

   netsh interface ip set address <connection> static <ip> <mask>
        <gateway> <gateway metric>

For example:

  netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static
      192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 10

  netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Connection" static
      10.20.30.100 255.0.0.0 10.20.30.254 10

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article has details of the Windows 2000
version of netsh. I don't know how much of it applies to Windows XP:

How to Use the Netsh.exe Tool and Command-Line Switches

To run the program, type this at a command prompt:

   netsh

Then type "?" or "help" for a list of commands. For information on a
command, type the command name followed by "?" or "help". For example:

   diag ?
   routing help
