If you are travelling with your Windows XP based notebook and don’t have DHCP everywhere it would be neat to have a way to save/restore network configuration settings such as IP address, nameservers, ..
Besides some third party tools there is already such a tool built-in: netsh

To export the current configuration create a link to: netsh.exe interface ip dump > filename.txt

To load a configuration: netsh.exe -f filename.txt

I was using this solution for ages until I enabled DHCP everywhere.

On my notebook I had to use command.com to get the links working, e.g
c:\windows\system32\command.com /c c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe -f filename.txt
