How to change Default gateway and Preferred DNS server?

[youtuber]

Friends,my system Windows 7 Ultimate x64I want to change the default gateway
The following code does not work on every computer

RegWrite('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{1EB6DC88-5D30-4291-B637-F28C06CADCA6}', 'DefaultGateway', 'REG_MULTI_SZ', '192.168.1.2')

You can try with this :

 

#RequireAdmin
#Include "network.au3"

_SetGateways("Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet", "192.168.1.1") ; Replace "Broadcom...." by the name of the network adapter name (or connection name)

Hello,

try this

Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

-p is called permanently

[youtuber]

@jguinch I have 35 computers.
Each computer has a different network adapter name and they only connect to the ethernet cable.
Do I need to add network adapter name for each one separately?

[youtuber]

Is my line of code healthy or is there another alternative?
The purpose of these codes is to change the default gateway if someone on the same network is using the internet, if someone is playing a game and it is detected that they are using the internet.

Do you think this would be a problem?

While 1
    If ProcessExists('chrome.exe') Or ProcessExists('iexplore.exe') Or ProcessExists('firefox.exe') Then
        Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
    Else
        Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

You seriously want to shell 5 instances of route in a seconds endlessly and ask us whther this is "healthy"?

You also mention the forbidden word while you should know better.

Hallo,

this is a better way

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

$DG = GetDefaultGateway()

While 1
    If ProcessExists('chrome.exe') Or ProcessExists('iexplore.exe') Or ProcessExists('firefox.exe') Then
        If ($DG <> "192.162.1.1") Then
            Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
            $DG = "192.168.1.1"
        EndIf
    Else
        If ($DG <> "192.168.1.2") Then
            Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
            $DG = "192.168.1.2"
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func GetDefaultGateway()
    Local $PID = Run("route print", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    Local $out = ""

    While 1
        $out &= StdoutRead($PID)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
    Return StringRegExp($out, "\s*0.0.0.0\s+0.0.0.0\s+(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*", 1)[0]
EndFunc   ;==>GetDefaultGateway

Each computer has a different network adapter name ...

You can get the network name using _GetNetworkAdapterList , get informations with _GetNetworkAdapterInfos, check if the adapter is wireless of not using _IsWirelessAdapter

[youtuber]

I don't know exactly how to use it.

#RequireAdmin
#Include "network.au3"
#Include <array.au3>

$infos = _GetNetworkAdapterList()
_ArrayDisplay($infos)

_SetGateways($infos, "192.168.1.1")

[jguinch]

@youtuber : here is an example or how you can do it :

#RequireAdmin

#Include "Network.au3"

Local $aNetAdapter = _GetNetworkAdapterList()

For $i = 0 To UBound($aNetAdapter) - 1
    If _IsWirelessAdapter($aNetAdapter[$i][0]) Then
        ConsoleWrite($aNetAdapter[$i][0] & ' is a wireless adapter')
    Else
        ConsoleWrite('"' & $aNetAdapter[$i][0] & '" is not a wireless adapter')
        _SetGateways($aNetAdapter[$i][0], "192.168.99.1")
    EndIf
Next

This works better for me, but I also want to change the DNS address

I tried this for it but it does not work

Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

Could you please explain what you mean as you talk about DNS and the shown command is supposed to change a Route in the routing table?
So what do you want to accomplish with this commandline?

I want to change my default gateway and Preferred DNS server

Spoiler

example is like this

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "netsh interface ip set dns ""Local area network"" static 8.8.8.8", "", @SW_HIDE)

 

can it be done with this command?

Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

No, but you could not find the answer to this yourself anywhere?

[youtuber]

there are some answers but it is very complicated 

so I guess it works simpler and better for me

Run("route -p change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

 

[Jos]

It would be smart to try and understand the difference between IP routing and the purpose of DNS, but fully appreciate the fact it isn't easy when starting to look at all of this.
You will find that it really isn't that difficult, but it means investing some time to learn though. 

Jos

[youtuber]

yes I try for a long time but unfortunately I have not been successful I need an example
I am glad you will give me an example of how to do it.

 

Example that worked very well for me but here
In addition it would be better to change the preferred DNS server and it will be exactly what I want
