How can I Set the IP Address of a PC Programmatically in LabVIEW?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Professional Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.5.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Is it possible to set the IP address of my computer programmatically in LabVIEW?

Solution:
You need to use the System Exec VI which invokes the command window. Right-click on the Block Diagram of a VI to show the Functions Palette and navigate to Connectivity»Libraries & Executables and place the System Exec VI on the block diagram. Right-click on the Command line input terminal of the System Exec VI and select Create Constant. In the created string constant, type the following arguments:

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

This will configure the connection named Local Area Connection to use static IP adress 192.168.0.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and DNS server 192.168.0.1 1.
