OK that's the problem. Apparently with Vista, even if you are logged into an admin account it's not sufficient to just open a command window and start typing netsh commands.
I right-clicked on the netsh.exe executable and selected "run as administrator" and was able to run the commands you provided. I didn't get any error messages, but I'm wondering about the results I got.
When I ran the commands:
Quote:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 10.73.37.6 255.0.0.0 10.73.37.4 1
netsh interface ip show config
|
... I got the result:
Quote:
Configuration for interface "Local Area Connection"
DHCP enabled: Yes
Default Gateway: 10.73.37.4
Gateway Metric: 1
InterfaceMetric: 10
DNS servers configured through DHCP: 192.168.1.1
Register with which suffix: Primary only
WINS servers configured through DHCP: None

Is DHCP supposed to be enabled? And why don't I see the 10.73.37.6 and the 255.0.0.0?
