As far as I know there is no supported method for setting/adding a static IP
address to an adapter. If you only need to assign one IP address, you may
consider using DHCP on the interface and using ioctl’s to control setting
the IP address. Unfortunately, this isn’t the most elegant solution.
Windows 2000 and XP have functions in the IP Helper API for adding IP
addresses to an adapter. Windows 9x, however, does not support these
functions.

Hope that helps,
Matt Miller

Hi,Matt Miller

Thanks for you reply. I think use DHCP is a good solution. But I do this with My Virtual Nic adapter , so I must reply DHCP request by myself. It’s very trouble.:slight_smile:
thanks again.
