I have a program on a remote computer that I run and if I change the network by specifying another gateway and dns address in the adapter proprietes the program works as usual, no problem will occur.

However when I do the network switching from command line, as follows:

netsh int ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 169.254.144.10 255.255.255.0 169.254.144.200 1
netsh int ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 169.254.144.200 primary validate=no

It will make the program hang on windows 8, on windows 7 it will work normally until you try to exit the window, only then it will say that it's not responding.

I tried to dump the configuration and restore it (netsh interface dump and netsh exec dumpfile.dat), but I couldn't test this method as in the dumped file there is no mention of gateway or dns - have no idea why it is not included there as that is essential...

Tested this behaviour on more computers. To me it appears that changing by commands is somehow more timely, as when I run the script with the above commands I can see some online related icons on my taskbar go disconnected and then reconnected. When I do the switch by hand they don't even blink. I suppose the drive mapping gets disconnected for a moment and that's why the program hangs...

So what is the difference between changing the network "by hand" and by the netsh command? How to change it from command to achieve the switch in the same manner?


The program has a text user interface, opened in the command window. It has to be run from a mapped drive as cmd doesnt support UNC paths.

The details when it hangs:

The remote computer is a windows 2008 server but I'm running the program locally.
