What's needed to configure network cards

[Guest]

need to set a fixed IP address.
Netsh does not have the "interface" option for some reason.
I can start "control.exe" and get to "network connections" to see my NIC's
but when I select a NIC and then "File>Properties" nothing happens.
I'm obviously missing something but I don't know what.

Chris,

Do you have the "Netshell" [Visibility=200] component in your Configuration with its all dependencies auto-resolved?

If you don't have Explorer Shell running, you may also want to run the following command to fix Local Area Connection interface
name:
rundll32 netshell.dll HrRenameConnection

Get familiar with the NetSh:

You can use many different tools or scripts to set static IP address during or after FBA.
For instance, you may use IPChange.exe: http://www.csparks.com/ipchange/index.xml

ipchange works but it does not persist between reboots. I don't see an option
to make it so.
If I type:

netsh interface ip set address name="NIC1" source=static
addr=192.168.42.39 255.255.248.0 192.168.47.250 0

I get "following command not found "interface ip set address ...."

What logon component you use? If it is monlogon, how do you reboot the device?
Try "fba -reboot" command.

If I type:

netsh interface ip set address name="NIC1" source=static
addr=192.168.42.39 255.255.248.0 192.168.47.250 0

I get "following command not found "interface ip set address ...."

Do you have "Network Command Shell Interface Context" component in your image? Have you resolved the NetShell dependencies?
If you type "netsh show helper" command at run time what output you see?

What is this NIC1 name? Did you register your own interface NIC1? If so, could you outline how you did that?

Try command like:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=192.168.42.39 mask=255.255.248.0
gateway=192.168.47.250
