Hi all.

Surely you know that if you set a network interface to be configured
dinamically by a DHCP server, you have the "Alternate Configuration" TAB
where you can place a static IP configuration in the case the dynamic
configuration process fails (for any reason).

I'd like to set the (IP) "alternate configuration" programmatically, using
a
script (VBS, VB, PowerShell, Netsh... doesn't matter), and I couldn't find
a
documentation about.

Can any of you provide me a way to accomplish this task?
A sample code would be great!

Really thank you for your help.

I cannot see any "Alternate Configuration" tab on my machine. Regardless of
this, the usual command to set IP parameters is netsh.exe. You can use it to
set fixed IP addresses or use DHCP.
