How Do You Open Network Connections as Administrator?

[Will]

While logged in as a regular unprivileged user, how do you change TCP/IP
properties for an adapter? When I right click on a shortcut to Network
Connections I placed on my desktop, there is no "Run As" option.
Unfortunately, Microsoft forgot to create an "Open As" option to let a user
open an object and specify a different privilege level by supplying userid
and password.

I can get Computer Manager opened as Administrator. Is there a way to get
Network Connections to appear within Computer Manager?

You could do it at the command line using runas to open netsh. The link
below shows some common tasks you can do with netsh. --- Steve
