We are getting school PCs moved over to Windows 7, and we can no longer use the "netsh" command to fix up addresses and network masks (unless run as administrator).

The Driver Station is able to fiddle with the network settings on W7: how does it do that? We need to emulate it....
Can you provide the link to the script?
