Change Internet Gateway IP from within a Harbour program

[Jayadev U]

Hi,

 

In a company, there are multiple gateways viz. 192.168.1.1 ( abc service provider for internet), 192.168.1.100 (xyz service provider internet). The user has to switch between the different gateways based on if the internet is working or not for a particular service provider.

 

Presently, the user has to go network settings ->change adapter settings->Choose adapter properties->go to IPv4 properties and change the gateway manually.  (Please note adding multiple gateways to the network adapter is not switching the gateways automatically).

 

Users are demanding a software so that they are saved from the hassle. Can we change the gateway from within a Harbour program ?

 

Kindly note that more than 1 adapter may be present, viz: wifi and lan in a laptop and only lan in Desktops.

 

Warm regards,

 

Jayadev

Hello Jayadev,

I remember that you works with Windows.

Maybe you can find a way with my attached basic sample.

Regards,

Bernard.

Thanks Bernard, Helpful as always.

 

The SetGateways method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class should allow me to assign a gateway.  I will investigate further and revert.

Thanks for your immediate response my friend.

Warm regards,

Jayadev U

Wouldn't a load balancing router be a simpler solution? https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-TL-R470T-Broadband-Changeable-Ethernet/dp/B005SYQBN8

Hi,

 

Thanks for the info.  Yes that is already under consideration.  However, since the orgainzation is very small ( only 3 users) an easier approach was being looked into.

 

Thanks for the help anyways.

 

Warm regards,

 

Jayadev
