What do you mean set an IP address? As in set up the computer and set the Computer's IP address? Set an IP address in a device? I assume you are using VB 6.0. What Operating System? My guess is you will need to use Win32 APIs.
Oops forgot to include the link. This is to the MSDN articles on IP address APIs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tocol.asp.
Unfortunately, it is really for C++ (which is I think the better language for working this deep in windows), but if you know a little C++ it is easy enough to figure out. The Declare statements can be gotten from the API viewer included with VB.
