I want to connect two laptops with a crossover Ethernet cable, in order to synchronize them with ntp. One laptop runs Windows 7, the other one Ubuntu.
On Ubuntu, in order to assign a static IP address to an interface, I just do:
sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
Is there a similar way for Windows, from the cmd?

You can use NETSH to set static IP addresses, see http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/257748/en
Syntax: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static ipaddr subnetmask gateway metric Sample: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
Substitute "Local Area Connection" with the name of the network adapter as needed.
You may need to deactivate Windows firewall.

Also: Is there a command that allows me to set a prefered IP Address for an adapter?

yeah, you're right. I removed it. – Ricky Robinson – 2014-11-05T15:20:30.727
