MS Batch File Help

[redsox985]

Ideally, I need a batch file to autorun from a USB drive when plugged in that boots Command Prompt and then runs the "ipconfig /all" command. This way I can plug in the flash drive and quickly pull the computer's IP address. What would be even better is if the program would write a .txt file to the flash drive with the entire "ipconfig /all" info stored in it.

Does anyone have any knowledge in this field? Even just the program to run ipconfig /all would be great as that's the first of my 3 goals.

1) Batch file that runs ipconfig /all
2) Auto runs from a flash drive when plugged in
3) Writes ipconfig /all info to .txt file on flash drive

Thanks!

why exactley are you looking to get the IP address? there are some programs you can get to pull it for you, and then you can copy, paste that into a .txt file and there you go,

create a autorun.inf file on the usb drive, place this in autorun:

[AutoRun]
OPEN=ipconfig.bat

Then create your ipconfig.bat in the same directory of your autorun. inside of the batch file:

@echo off
ipconfig /all | find "Host Name" > %computername%.txt
ipconfig /all | find "IP Address" >> %computername%.txt
ipconfig /all | find "DNS" >> %computername%.txt

This way, you'll also get a name of the computer as not to have a bunch of mumble jumble and not know whats what.

It's mostly just for messing around with friends. I found a free Android app called WifiKill. If you have the computer's IP and are on the same network, you can disable their conneciton with the flip of a check box and then have the bandwidth to yourself.

Thanks for this. I just made it now, but as a student here, autorun files are blocked. Maybe I'll go pop this into a teacher's computer...

Ok, just tried this out...it makes the file named as the computer, but it's blank inside. How can I change this so that it adds the IP to the file?

alright, go to your buddys house, and connect to thier internet, go to this site while there off, copy it to your phone, and tada http://www.tracemyip.org/

Why not just use Network Discovery from the android market
it will show you every IP connected to a given network.

That takes too long and requires too much work. He want something where he plugs it in, waits 20 seconds, and hes got it.

The app shows every IP on the network, and when we're on laptops at school, there's over 800 devices on the wireless network. I want something that I can pop in, count to 5, and pull back out with their computer's IP so I can go into the list of 800+ on my phone, and block theirs as a joke. (yes, the app sorts close to sequentially, the IP range is 10.1.48.___ through 10.1.53.___, so it would take too long without sorting)

Your school probably has use of cmd prompt blocked. Id assume anyway. If you want I can probably write you a quick little program in C# that'll yankypoo the info you want.

 

[redsox985]

We don't have the command prompt in the start menu anywhere, but if we go into notepad then type command.com and save to the desktop as command.bat, we have a limited command prompt. Enough to open a flash drive as My Computer is locked.

most of the functionality is probably blocked then. Just lemme know if you want a simple little proggie to pull that for you. Could be setup to just log to a .txt file and whatever else you need. Would take me like a minute, literally lol.
