Automatically in what sense? Remotely? Via code run at the machine
containing the NIC?

What keeps you from setting up via the software provided by the NIC
manufacturer or afterwards through My Computer -> Network ?

I believe the only way will be to touch the registry directly and reboot.
On ME, I recall if WMI will work or NetSH.

Correction:

I meant to say

[...] On ME, I **don't**recall if WMI will work or NetSH.

Check out the EnableDHCP(), EnableStatic(), SetGateways(), and
SetDNSServerSearchOrder() WMI methods.

Keep in mind that WMI (WBEM) is not installed by default on 9x (it is on
ME), so your customers will need access to their original Windows 98
distribution media to install it via Add new software/System Components.
