in windows 98 in control pane->ntework->tcp/ip we can configure ip address.

How can i set the ip address of my system.

we have alll the systems connected to lan in our college

with ip 172.xx.xx.xx

is there any utility available to configure the networking in win2k

Right click on Network Neighborhood on the desktop and choose properties

Right click on LAN connection and shoose properties

Select Internet Protocol and click properties

You can configure IP settings there and adjust more settings by going into the advanced options.

This should do it for you.

Or you can go into the control panel,

double click "network and dial-up connections"

right click "Local Area Connection" and click "Properties"

then double click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"

then type in the IP address for the pc, the subnet and the gateway. And if you know them, the dns settings.

Once those settings are in, you can then browse the network...

AND ! the cool thing with 2k s you dont need to restart to change the IP address !

you can also use a the netsh-command in a batch file, maybe that is a better way for many pcs.
