I would like to automate the process fixes connection written here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/repair.mspx. To replace mouse clicks, the program did everything for me. How can this be done in assembly language? Thank you!
From an article in searchnetworking.com (have to register to see full article) http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid7_gci1253613_mem1,00.html these are the steps outlined that are roughly the equivalent of what happens when you use the repair option (partial text taken from the article):
Step 1: DHCP Renew
This step only occurs if the network connection is configured to receive its address automatically using DHCP. If you've configured the connection manually with a static IP address and other TCP/IP settings, this step is skipped. The command-line action that is being performed here is similar to but not identical to the following familiar command:
ipconfig /renew
Step 2: Flush ARP Cache
The command-line action that is being performed in this step is as follows:
arp –d *
Step 3: Flush NetBIOS Cache
The command-line action that is being performed in this step is as follows:
nbtstat –R
Step 4: Flush DNS Resolver Cache
The command-line action that is being performed in this step is as follows:
ipconfig /flushdns
Step 5: Register again with WINS
The command-line action that is being performed in this step is as follows:
nbtstat –RR
Step 6: Register again with DNS
The last command-line action that is performed when you use the Repair feature is this:
ipconfig /registerdns
Hope that helps.
Here is a function from the NDF (Network Diagnostics Framework):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369869%28VS.85%29.aspx
HRESULT Repair(
[in] REPAIRINFO *pInfo,
[out] LONG *pDeferredTime,
[out] REPAIR_STATUS *pStatus
);
Try to understand. Thank you!
