Does anyone know of a way to invoke the DOS "ROUTE" command(s). I have written a .bat program that adds routes, but I want to take a particular interface from my ROUTE PRINT output and then ROUTE ADD the routes to that interface. Since that interface is dynamic due to VPN issues, it would be great if I could write a little program that would first determine the interface ID (such as 0x2000005) and then create the routes via ROUTE ADD. TIA.
It's been brought to my attention that my quetion isn't very clear, which I have to agree with. Here's my question:
In Vis.Basic, how can I determine the active interfaces on my computer? I can do this with the DOS command, "ROUTE PRINT" but I would like to be able to do something like the following psuedo-code:
DIM WAN, TEMP AS STRING
DIM IPADDRESS, GATEWAY AS STRING
IPADDRESS = "1.2.3.4" 'YES I KNOW THIS IS A BOGUS IP ADDY
GATEWAY = "5.6.7.8" ''YES I KNOW THIS IS A BOGUS IP ADDY TOO
TEMP = ROUTE PRINT | FIND "WAN"
WAN = MID (TEMP,2,7)
ROUTE ADD IPADDRESS GATEWAY METRIC 2 IF (THIS IS INTERFACE, NOT "IF" STATEMENT) WAN
What I don't know how to do is determine the active interfaces, routes, etc. from visual basic. I can do it from DOS, but I want to do it from VB. I am sure that there's some API or DLL that I should be using, but I can't seem to figure it out. So, how do I call the DOS command, "ROUTE" from visual basic?
