-rem for IPv4 adding these static addresses to a physical interface
-rem will switch it from DHCP to static flushing DHCP setup.
-rem So it is highly recommended to install the loopback pseudo-interface
-rem and add IPv4 addresses to it.
-
-rem for IPv6 your interface can have a different name, e.g.,
-rem "Local Area Connection". Please update this script and remove the
