in thread Is it possible to take the IP address from a file and assign it to LAN interface for certain period of time

Thanks for the input Javafan. I should have explained it a bit better. My server got 2 NIC's and I am trying to change the IP of NIC - 1 --> Local Area Connection.

Btw, it is not right to say that when you turn on your computer, none of its Interfaces has an IP address. if you have assigned a static IP, it will be there irrespective of the status of the network :-)

Even with a "static" IP, the IP address isn't assigned to the interface when turning on the computer. It's during the boot process that the address is assigned - be it by DHCP, or read from a configuration file. Static here just means that the local policy says your interface will be assigned the same IP address.	[reply]
