Setting IP Address Configuration using Netsh command?

Have anyone ever had the frustration that setting an IP Address to the computer seems to be rather tedious? Or have anyone thought off setting IP Address using command prompt or batch file while makes life a lot better? Well, Netsh is the command prompt which available to configure for Interfaces, DHCP, RRAS(Routing and Remote Access Service), Routing, WINS and etc.

With Netsh tool, you can direct the context commands you enter to the appropriate helper, and the helper then carries out the command. To display a list of sub contexts, and command that can be used in a context, type the context name followed by a space and a “?” at the netsh> command prompt. For example, to display a list of sub contexts of DHCP, just type “dhcp ?” at the netsh> command prompt and press ENTER.

Bellow are a list of context and its explanation over it;

/dhcp – Changes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol context

/ras – Changes the Remote Access Server (RAS) context

/routing – Changes the routing context

/wins – Changes the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) context

“?” can be a very good friend of you, it will show the context with appropriate helper. Well, how are you able to assign IP Address quickly and if you are a slow typist? Well, this is normally what I will do, I will save the netsh command into a notepad and then save the file as a “.bat”, batch file. Thus, when I was to use it, I will just double click the appropriate file. Some examples below;

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp

Save this two lines into the notepad, and save the file accordingly. This file when executed will assign the Interface with the name “Local Area Connection” to obtain IP Address automatically and start to contact the DHCP server. Besides, it also able to set the DNS option to be assigned with IP Address automatically. Another example below;

netsh interface ip set address “Local Area Connection” static 10.1.1.29 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.235 1
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 10.1.1.2 primary
netsh interface ip add dns "Local Area Connection" 10.1.1.3 2

The above example when executed will then assign the static IP Address of 10.1.1.29 with the subnet prefix /24(255.255.255.0) to the interface name Local Area Connection with the gateway of 10.1.1.235 and the last number at the end of the command is the metric of the gateway. Also, the netsh command can assign Primary DNS and Alternate DNS to the interface too!

Guys, enjoy the Netsh command! Hope this pieces of information is benefiting you!

How Slipstreaming Service Pack 2?

Note: All images are hosted with ImageShack.

• This guide will allow you to successfully install Service Pack 2 on the original (gold) code of Microsoft Windows XP.
• The version of Windows you have purchased/downloaded does not matter as far as slipstreaming (they’re all the same anyway).

Things you need:
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Service Pack 2:

URL http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165b076b-aaa9-443d-84f0-73cf11fdcdf8/WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

• Windows XP Boot sector:

http://www.neowin.net/downloads/xpboot.bin

• Nero Burning Rom (find it on SoD)

Step One

Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM drive, and create a new folder on your hard-drive labeled "CD".

Copy all of the files from the Windows XP CD to the "CD" folder.

Step Two

Download Service Pack 2 and place it within the root of your hard-drive.
Ex: C:\ D:\ etc..

Step Three

Go to Start -> Run and type in "F:\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe -s:F:\CD" (depending on where you put the folder)

The actual command is -s:drive:\folder

Step Four

The Service Pack 2 updater will automatically slipstream Service Pack 2 into your "CD" folder.

Step Five

If you browse back to the CD folder, you’ll notice that new folders and files appeared from the SP2 update. At this point, you can include any software you wish onto this CD, but make sure that the size of the folder does not exceed the media you are burning on. If you’re not sure, a regular CD is 700 megabytes.

Step Six

Go to Start and Search for files and folders. Go to all files and folders, and type in "wpa.dbl". This is the activation file for your current installed version of XP. Make a copy of the file and paste it into your CD folder.

Step Seven

Open up Nero Smartstart, and click on the icon that looks like two people. This turns the program into "professional mode". Search for create a bootable CD. Click on it, and make sure that your settings agree with the following picture; also make sure that you downloaded the Windows XP boot sector.

Step Eight

Continue onto the next tab, and make sure that your settings agree with the picture:

Step Nine

In this step, you can label your CD whatever the hell you want. I recommend WXPSP2_EN.

Step Ten

Go to "new" and locate your CD folder. Drag all of the files in the CD folder to the compilation window on the right, and nero will calculate how much disk space was used. If it exceeds 700 MB, get rid of some programs that you added to the CD. If you didn’t add anything; just push burn.

Step Eleven

Make sure that your settings check with the picture:

Step Twelve

Just push burn, and that’s it! Congratulations, you just made a bootable Win XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed!

1. Connect PC to the console port

2. Reboot the switch

3. Press “mode” button on the switch

4. Initialize the flash file system

    switch: flash_init

5. Load any helper files

    switch: load_helper

6. Display the contents of flash memory. Should identify a file named config.text

    switch: dir flash:

7. Rename the configuration file (config.text) to other file name because switch will only recognize the file named config.text as the configuration file. If no such file exists, the switch will treat it as a “clean” switch with no configuration

    switch: rename flash: config.text flash:config.text.old

8. Reboot the switch

    switch: boot

5. Enter “No” when user is asked to enter the initial configuration dialog

6. Rename the configuration file back to the original file name and save it to the running configuration once user has entered into the privilege mode in order to retrieve back the original configuration.

    switch>en

    switch# rename flash:config.text.old flash:config.text

    switch# copy flash:config.text system:running-config

7. Change all the necessary password(s) and save the configuration

SPYWARE? AD-WARE?

What would be more annoying than having a Laptop/PC which you have fully customized with your preferences and settings, date files all well managed, system settings and performance fully optimized and only to find out the next day, your computer had already infected by spyware, ad-ware and you have no help rush in for you and you have to format! It was me before and I would like to share some information that i know for you! There are a lot of PC users that know little about "Spyware", "Mal-ware", "hijackers", "Dialers" & many more. This will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.

What is spy-ware?
Spy-ware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Ad-ware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users. There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales. This way, you don’t have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.

Known spywares
There are thousands out there, new ones are added to the list everyday. But here are a few:
Alexa, Aureate/Radiate, BargainBuddy, ClickTillUWin, Conducent Timesink, Cydoor, Comet Cursor, eZula/KaZaa Toptext, Flashpoint/Flashtrack, Flyswat, Gator, GoHip, Hotbar, ISTbar, Lions Pride Enterprises/Blazing Logic/Trek Blue, Lop (C2Media), Mattel Brodcast, Morpheus, NewDotNet, Realplayer, Songspy, Xupiter, Web3000, WebHancer, Windows Messenger Service.
