C# - enable / disable DHCP
c#, dhcp, networking
Solution
You could use `Process` to fire off netsh commands to set all the properties in the network dialogs.
eg: To set a static ipaddress on an adapter
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
To set it to dhcp you'd use
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
To do it from C# would be
Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("netsh", "interface ip set address \"Local Area Connection\" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1");
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();
Setting to static can take a good couple of seconds to complete so if you need to, make sure you wait for the process to exit.
Problem
