command IV……..CONFIG IP

netsh interface ip show config

With Netsh.exe, you can easily configure your computer's IP address and other TCP/IP related settings. For example:

The following command configures the interface named Local Area Connection with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1:

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

Netsh.exe can be also useful in certain scenarios such as when you have a portable computer that needs to be relocated between 2 or more office locations, while still maintaining a specific and static IP address configuration. With Netsh.exe, you can easily save and restore the appropriate network configuration.

First, connect your portable computer to location #1, and then manually configure the required settings (such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses).

Now, you need to export your current IP settings to a text file. Use the following command:

netsh -c interface dump > c:'location1.txt

When you reach location #2, do the same thing, only keep the new settings to a different file:

netsh -c interface dump > c:'location2.txt

You can go on with any other location you may need, but we'll keep it simple and only use 2 examples.

Now, whenever you need to quickly import your IP settings and change them between location #1 and location #2, just enter the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE):

netsh -f c:'location1.txt

or

netsh -f c:'location2.txt

and so on.

You can also use the global EXEC switch instead of -F:

netsh exec c:'location2.txt

Netsh.exe can also be used to configure your NIC to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server:

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

Would you like to configure DNS and WINS addresses from the Command Prompt? You can. See this example for DNS:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200

and this one for WINS:

netsh interface ip set wins "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200

Or, if you want, you can configure your NIC to dynamically obtain it's DNS settings:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp

BTW, if you want to set a primary and secondary DNS address, add index=1 and index=2 respectively to the lines of Netsh command.

As you now see, Netsh.exe has many features you might find useful, and that goes beyond saying even without looking into the other valuable options that exist in the command.

Enjoy playing with ur Command.

Check your Reliability Monitor in Windows 7

The Reliability Monitor was introduced in Windows Vista as 'The Reliability and Performance Monitor." In Windows 7 it has been separated from Performance Monitor and moved to a new location under the Action Center. You open the Action Center in Control Panel and then look under the Maintenance options for the "View reliability history" link. You can also just type in Reliability Monitor from the Instant Search

Check your Reliability Monitor…….Check your system.

Make your Own LIVEBOOT CD of Windows XP…

This Topic seems to be a bit crazy….but you can do it now….I have been searching a new technique to boot operation system in my machine….on which i don’t have to install operating system…it directly run from the CD/DVD. Why do i need such kind of things?

If you want to browse the Internet safely, this is one good way of doing it.

I think these answer make you satisfy why you need the liveboot CD or DVD…..Here I am introducing you guys a new application PE Builder with help of which you can make your own liveboot CD/DVD.

Here we start…

First, download and install the PE Builder.
I want to bring your attention to a subfolder that is automatically created when you install the PE Builder:

\..\pebuilder folder\plugin

Replace \..\pebuilder folder\ with your installation path. Remember the plugin folder. Now, let's move on.
Now, start the program. The interface looks like this:

You should specify the source of Windows installation files (most likely your Windows CD), custom folders and files that you might like to include, the location of the created output, and the location and the name of the .iso image. So far so good.
But we are also very much interested in Plugins.
Clicking Plugins will open a new sub-menu:

Click ‘add’ and browse to the location where you stored the Windows XPE plug-in to add it. Since we are using the XPE plug-in you can safely disable the Nu2shell, PENETCFG and A43 plugins since these offer functionality that is already included with the XPE plug-in.as shown in picture you can disable Nu2shell but you have to enable Nu2menu.

Click ‘close’. You can now directly burn a disc or save an ISO file for testing which you can burn later. Click ‘build’ and PE builder will get to work.

If the build process completes without any errors, you have made yourself a Live CD.

Mine completed in just under 2 minutes without any errors and amounted to 270 MB with Windows XPE plug-in and 154 MB without it. Here are the screen shots from my LiveCD which I tested in my Virtual machine.

First I made my machine boot from CD….then the black screen came as it comes while installing Windows XP…but later on the system started to load….and these are the screenshots..

 

For Full Screenshot you can view this album too..

I have just succeeded this windows XP and now soon will be blogging about how to make live cd of windows Vista and Windows 7…..I think it will be more interesting for us to make it in Windows 7,and more complicated.
