You can use ipconfig.exe calling it throuhg the VB6 Shell() function. For DNS you must use nslookup.exe.

One method is documented at the MSDN website
http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversio...hp/t70524.html
Another method would be to follow these steps (this is the method I used)

Quote:

Follow this steps :
1. Open registry on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
2. Find the subKey = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\"netcard# "
"netcard# " usually is "1" but you can control any subkey and find specific netwrok Adapters
Refer to "MSDN Registry Entries for Network Adapter Cards"
3. Get data for the value "ServiceName"
4. Find the subKey = SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\"ServiceName"\Parameters\TcpIp"
5. Set data for the value "IpAddress" to change IP address
6. Set data for the value "SubnetMask" to change subnet mask
7. Set data for the value "DefaultGateway" to change default gateway
8. Reboot your PC.
