The system is W2k. The application is to be used by service tecnicians moving around between different equipments, each with a unique IP-adress. The equipment does not have a DHCP so we need to set the IP-adress of the PC, to have it on the same IP-network as equipment. This also means that the change does not need to survive a reboot. The PCs only got one adaptor. I'll try with setRegistry.. Problem is just in which position of the register to make the setting. /// Gunnar _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
