Hi,

Possible ways to accomplish your task are:

1- Using some remote desktop protocol
2- Using some script to change network settings remotely

Incase of remote desktop protocol you may use Microsoft Terminal Service or VNC...

Incase of script you will have to change the below scripts to your need:
