Hello everyone.

How I can add a static IP route with C/C++/VC6.0? For example, my IP is 192.168.12.1 and I want to set it to be the default gateway. Just input "route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.1" in CMD.EXE. But I want a program to do this, how can I make it? Please show me your code.

I would appreciate it if you help me. Many thanks!

Unless you're writing a system management configuration utility, don't do that.
Your program -in general- is not the "owner" of the computer it runs on, that is not -in turn- the owner of the network it belongs.

You can use system("route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.1"), but it's probably not a very good idea. I don't even think I came up with it if someone asks. This post was never submitted.
