I've been going along for a LONG time with a dynamic IP address in my device
that we're creating and now, just a couple of days before the customer is
here to approve it, I'm informed that it has to have a static IP address
<groan>. I'll start digging into the docs but I'm wondering if anyone can
short-circuit my learning curve and tell me what I need to do to set it up
for static IP. I only have the most basic command line support; no control
panel, no desktop, no IE, etc. Thanks for any help!
 
You might want to have a look at the netsh command, and include the
interface contexte component in your image also.
 
Larry,

Check out XPEFILE.COM and there is a component that includes a script that
sets the static TCP/IP during FBA.

Okay, I added the net shell command component (netsh), the interface context
component, and the TCP/IP utilities (so I could use ipconfig). ipconfig seems to
work to show the DHCP default settings. But when I try netsh I get:

WARNING: Could not obtain host information from machine: [XPESRA]. Some
commands may not be available.
Class not registered.
 
Okay, I'll check that out but I don't really need to set them during FBA, it's
okay to be able to set them after the system comes up from the command line,
if I can just get 'netsh' to work (see my other reply).
 
I tried searching for 'static ip' and 'netsh' and don't get anything. I tried
to register but it said I was already registered. I tried asking for my
password but it said the email wasn't what I registered with. I have no idea
what name/password I registered with nor when. Now I've used up the attempts
and have to wait until later <sigh>
 
hmmm.... I don't see it either. It must have been dropped at some point. It
has been around for awhile. Hiedi Linda developed the solution.

Oh, er, yes, that was me wasn't it. I'll see if i've still got it
knocking around at home somewhere. I know I haven't got it at work.
