You want to 'create' vlans? You normally can't create VLAN's from a windows machine, that's done at the switch or router level. You can assign the NIC to a VLAN (in the NIC's advanced properties in the device manager), but otherwise creation and maintenance of VLAN's is not done at the client OS level. What exactly are you trying to do?

My PCs obtain their IP address automatically. DHCP server have only one nic and it's running over Windows Server 2003. I want PCs be able to continue getting IP address dynamically without to aggregate NICs to DHCP server. So I need to assign every vlans to one nic, like a trunk. I know this is possible over Linux, I want to know if I can do it over windows.
Best Regards :)
