How to take registry backup of current network properties

Question

I want to take back up of registry of the current network settings like IP,Subnet,DNS and all that stuff, in windows xp. How can i do that? Please help.

Answer 1

Either use the FreeIPSwitcher or (using your chosen language - not specified) backup HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

Answer 2

For Windows XP clients and higher, the netsh command has access to all your nitty-gritty networking configuration. Rather than fool with Registry stuff (which may be incomplete, since the network config is in many places), you might do better by using the netsh dump > ipsettings.bak command to save a configuration script. If you need to restore the settings due to bad changes, simply run netsh exec ipsettings.bak and you're back in business.
