Hey guys,
For some reason, my dads corporate laptop gets and IP from my router at home, but it isnot recognized on his laptop. Me thinks ZOne Alarm is the problem, but he says it worked before when he did it.
Before you say wrong area, it should be in netowrking, i have other things. I can get it to work by settign a static IP. bingo bango boomgo.
but instead of having my Dad have to switch settings each time he works at home and then work, if i can get a script that can chanbge the settings .
mabye two files.. Home, and Office.
Home -
// for now
sets the IP info to Specific:
IP 192.168.x.xxx
SUBNET 255.255.xxx.xxx
GATEWAY 192.168.x.xxx
and the OFFICE
//for now
sets Ip info back to DHCP.
Im guessing a couple of the reg entries of the Nic Card and the different seeting could work, but being this a corp laptop im betting there could be prioblems with direct registry acces.
Im not exaclty sure where to post this cause It is software support and it is also a request of sorts.
IF any can help me with the script or/and a detailed outline of settings to change in the ZONEALARM for it to woork.
My router said the laptop had an IP, but meh!
it is working now, just need some help with coding i guess.
i know some C++(console)
and some VB (6)
Thanks laddies
