I'm running XP embedded.
How do you change the computer name and static IP address
from a cmd prompt ?

Thanks

Not sure if this applies to XP embedded or not, but from a normal XP
professional system this is easy to do by changing registry entries and
rebooting, but only if the computer is in a workgroup.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\
(REG_SZ) ComputerName=

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
(REG_SZ) hostname=
(REG_SZ) NV Hostname=

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\
(REG_SZ) ComputerName=


If it's a member of a domain that won't work, you would need to use
NETDOM.EXE from the free support tools:
