How to change DNS server IP address

How can I change the DNS server IP address in Windows XP from command line?
I don't want to do it from UI every time I need since it requires a lot clicks.

In a command prompt:

netsh interface ip set dns "local area connection" static 10.0.0.1

You can list the interfaces on your PC using:

netsh interface ip show interfaces

I think the netsh utility may be what you need for this. Of course you can call that from within your own program/script. It's been quite a while since I used it so can't really remember the specifics.
