Assigning Static IP address and subnet mask during build

[Boby George]

How can I statically assign an ip address and subnet mask to my XPe
target during build? I am using a headless system.

Boby George,

You can use tools like netsh (interface ip context) to make changes in the
IP settings. Easy to set a static IP.

This question has been discussed in this NG many times. You may want to read
other threads on the subject first:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...c.windowsxp.embedded&q=netsh+static+IP&qt_g=1

And, after all, this topic is now on MSDN:

KM,

The problem is I don't have a display to run the netsh command or to do
anything with the target directly. I was looking for a cmixxx propery or
a setting for component that I can use to set the IP address/subnet
mask. I guess it does not exist. I guess I have to add something in the
post FBA stage.

Thanks,

Boby

You should look at www.xpefiles.com. There is a script solution that can set
static IP using netsh during FBA.

Boby George,

There is still no support for setting static IP in TD.

However, you can always have your own commands (netsh ...) launched
automatically at any phase of FBA. Use Generic FBA commands or RunOnce
options that you can set up in TD.

Also, IIRC, there is a "netsh static IP" wrapper component that has been
posted to www.xpefiles.com a while ago.

KM,

Sean has just pointed me to the xpefiles sites. I am still searching for
that precious posting. xpefiles site does not seem to have a search option.

Thanks,

I believe it is called Netsetup - Heidi posted it a few years ago. Check the
software / applications section.

Thanks Sean. Found it, developed by Linda Heidi. I am going through the
script.

Thanks,

As KM pointed out, you could do a simple batch file during FBA that runs
netsh. There are alternatives.

I wrote a custom component that allows you to specify the IP address in
Target Designer. Contact me offline if intereseted.
