[Openvpn-users] Using netsh on Windows

While windows lacks an ifconfig command, it has a similar command called netsh.

Suppose you had a TAP-Win32 adapter called "my-tap", and you wanted to change
the IP/netmask to 10.3.0.1/255.255.255.0.  This command would do it:

netsh interface ip set address my-tap static 10.3.0.1 255.255.255.0

In fact netsh is so useful, I have coded the --ifconfig option for Windows in
a way that calls netsh (in upcoming 1.5-beta8).

I would like to know from other OpenVPN on Windows users (preferably those
using Win2K), the answer to this question:

Does the netsh command as shown above ever require a reboot to finalize the
configuration change?  If so, it may be infeasible to implement an --ifconfig
option for Windows using netsh.

James
