If you are like me, you constantly play around with your home network. I find first handle knowledge is the best way to learn :). The point of this post is:
I wanted a way to store my network interface settings and then easily restore them all after I had played around with my machine to the point where nothing worked anymore. I came across this little hack that I thought is pretty cool:
- To save your interface settings:
- netsh -c interface dump > settings.txt
- To restore the settings when you are done:
Yes, I know the GUI in the control panel allows me to do all that. I love a good GUI as much as the next guy, but I suggest every tinker happy user (this is me) should start looking around the contexts of netsh - you will be amazed at how much you can tuck away in a .cmd file to make administration that much faster.
