Small project involving creating a simple app to make changes to an ethernet interface. If we're successful in our first project, there will be more.

Anyone interested please respond here or email me at dougstringer a_t mac.com.

Thanks!

just use one of API program examples and build your own custom tool just to cahnge values you are interested in.

Sounds easy... I'm just not a programmer however. I wouldn't know where to start.

What type of changes to the interface ?

We would like to make IP changes to the interface. Such as whether the interface gets its IP address through DHCP, static, or PPoE.

If the interface HAS received it's IP through DHCP, we would like to see what IP it has received.

We would also like information as to whether that interface has "ethernet connectivity" and possibly whether it's 10/half 10/full 100/half or 100/full.

all of that you can see on winbox - R - meaning running is only set if there is wire connected, in ip addresses you see address assigned to interface, if dhcp then assigned to normal interface, if pppeo then assigned to that type of interface.

or you wished to provide app for clients so they see without underlaying knowledge?

Yes.. I need a super simplified version of the winbox. I need a small winbox that shows status and IP information for Ether1 (WAN) and allows a user to make changes to the IP address and IP state (to set it to receive an IP via DHCP, or statically, or to PPoE for a DSL modem for example).

I need an interface that someone who has never configured a router could use.

use webbox in that case. it is very simplified.

Web box won't quite work for what we want to do. We really need something customized and have a budget to do it... if there's anyone out there that might be looking for a project.

Hi, This sounds interesting. Did you get around making this app? Could you specify what changes in the interface are you looking for?
