Changing IP address in C#

I have a c# program 开发者_如何学Cthat needs to connect to another computer via a UDP connection. In order to perform this operation, I need to temporarily change the IP address of my network card on my computer, so they can talk to one another. I can do this just fine. However, when I'm done, I want to restore my IP address back to what it was before; which is to automatically obtain an IP address.

Can someone tell me how to change my settings back to what they were previously?

Thanks,

Phil

You may want to check this SwitchNetConfig project.

The part that interest you is how to change the IP:

public static void SetIP( string nicName, string IpAddresses, 
  string SubnetMask, string Gateway, string DnsSearchOrder)
{
  ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass(
    "Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");
  ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances();

  foreach(ManagementObject mo in moc)
  {
    // Make sure this is a IP enabled device. 

    // Not something like memory card or VM Ware

    if( mo["IPEnabled"] as bool )
    {
      if( mo["Caption"].Equals( nicName ) )
      {

        ManagementBaseObject newIP = 
          mo.GetMethodParameters( "EnableStatic" );
        ManagementBaseObject newGate = 
          mo.GetMethodParameters( "SetGateways" );
        ManagementBaseObject newDNS = 
          mo.GetMethodParameters( "SetDNSServerSearchOrder" );

        newGate[ "DefaultIPGateway" ] = new string[] { Gateway };
        newGate[ "GatewayCostMetric" ] = new int[] { 1 };

        newIP[ "IPAddress" ] = IpAddresses.Split( ',' );
        newIP[ "SubnetMask" ] = new string[] { SubnetMask };

        newDNS[ "DNSServerSearchOrder" ] = DnsSearchOrder.Split(',');

        ManagementBaseObject setIP = mo.InvokeMethod( 
          "EnableStatic", newIP, null);
        ManagementBaseObject setGateways = mo.InvokeMethod( 
          "SetGateways", newGate, null);
        ManagementBaseObject setDNS = mo.InvokeMethod( 
          "SetDNSServerSearchOrder", newDNS, null);

        break;
      }
    }
  }
}
