in windows I use batch files to configure my computer I use the following for work network (DHCP) netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source="dhcp" netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source="dhcp" netsh interface ip set wins name="Local Area Connection" source="dhcp"
and this for home network (I replaced the ip with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mask=255.255.255.0 netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gwmetric=1 netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I am sure that you can do more by reading the help of netsh or there is a software that manage various profiles for you see http://www.mobilenetswitch.com/. I haven't used it and I don't know if it works for Linux (and it is not free) hoped that this helped a bit Shahar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erez Doron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ilug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: configuring apps via command line > hi > > i am working from both home and work, > i need different configurations for both - > different proxy, different smtp server and some other stuff as well > i am using both windows and linux. and have cygwin installed. > > i thought of a way to run a script when i get an ip, and the script will > configure all i need. > > so i am looking for a way to configure the outgoing mail server (mozilla > mail - both linux and windows) from a script ( e.g. comman line) > also configuring proxy for mozilla (linux/windows) and IE from script. > > any idea ? > > erez. > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
