Change NIC's IP address

On a PC with more than one NIC installed. We only want to
change the address on one card. How can we point the
script to just one card? The card in question is a Dlink
NIC pcmcia card.

'Begin script
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer_
& "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration_
where IPEnabled=TRUE")
strIPAddress = Array("192.168.1.xxx")
strSubnetMask = Array("255.255.255.0")
strGateway = Array("192.168.1.xxx")
strGatewayMetric = Array(1)
For Each objNetAdapter in colNetAdapters
errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableStatic(strIPAddress,_
strSubnetMask)
errGateways = objNetAdapter.SetGateways(strGateway,_
strGatewaymetric)
If errEnable = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "The IP address has been changed."
Else
WScript.Echo "The IP address could not be changed."
End If
Next

'End Script

Thanks!!

Hi

In the For Each loop, test on the objNetAdapter.Description property.

For my computer, I would need to do like this to hit my 3Com adapter:

If LCase(objNetAdapter.Description) = _
LCase("3Com 10/100 Mini PCI Ethernet Adapter") Then
' do something here
End If
