Awesome, thanks

Something that's a good idea is just running netsh from the command line and using ? to find out about the various commands and options in the various contexts i.e. in netsh interface> set ? returns help on various commands for set, and netsh interface> set interface ? will return the details related to what you can set for the interface.

I agree with udomiel.

Netsh does a LOT, especially with the firewall/advfirewall stuff so its pretty fun/worthwhile just to dig around in its help switch.

+1 Good trick to know progressively using the help to dig in deeper. The more of netsh I see the better I'll remember commands for it.
