Question : Need Registry Script to change DNS Server Preferred & Alternate IPs

I have an application that only runs when I remove static DNS Server IPs from the Local Area Connection Properties. The app actually launches, but after entering login info, it returns a connection error. Only after changing the DNS to automatic will it work properly. (If I then immediately set DNS back to static, the app works normally if I exit the program and launch it again.)

I'd like to crete a registry script that would set DNS to automatic, then reset it to specific primary and secord IPs. But most importantly, the script should allow for the "Apply" or "OK" function, so that the settings are refreshed at the completion of the script.

Anyone with any ideas as to why this problem may be occurring, or would anyone care to share a script that would accomplish the above? Thanks.

Howdy howdy,

What you could do is create a batch file that uses the following:

netsh

netsh is a command tool used for setting ip's / dns etc.

create a batch file similar to the following

netsh [blah blah settings dns]
pause
netsh [blah blah settings autoconfig]

might work for you :D
