need help with netsh command

[dirtweasel]

i'm attempting to enable a local area connection from a batch file by using the netsh command and then change the wins settings.

i got the wins set no problem on the enabled card, but i'm having trouble enabling the other card (we're moving networks) to set the wins.

any idea what exact syntax i would use?

to change wins i'm using: netsh interface ip add wins "local area connection" xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx .

to enable the connection: etsh interface set interface name=local area connection connect=connected but i get a 'paramater is incorrect'. anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

thanks,

james.

Are there some typos in there? If not, there is no "interface" mode... just "interface ip". And quotes around the interface name would probably be a god idea (or rename the interface to something easy like "3COM"). Can you paste exactly what you are typing so we can better understand the problem? Thanks!
