Change IP settings using C++

How do I change the IP settings of a Windows CE 6 box Programatically via C++? Functions for Windows might also work.

I found that I can change the hostname via sethostname but couldn't find how to change IP address settings such as:

  • IP Address
  • DHCP
  • Subnet
  • Gateway
  • DNS1 / DNS2
  • WINS1 / WINS2

Any advice / pointers would be great. Thanks.

P.s. How would you get the box to update to those settings - is a refresh or the programming equivalent of ipconfig /renew required?

Solution

  • Have you checked out the IP Helper Routines on MSDN? I think these provide some, if not all, of what you need.
