here is a simple solution:

1)
get the nset utility from 
http://home.mnet-online.de/horst.muc/ger/pbats32.zip

2)
put nset and getargs.com in the same directory (or in your PATH)

3)
make a batch file that looks like this:
@echo off
getargs > tmpfile.bat
call tmpfile.bat
echo %ip%|nset /s: client-ip=$1
echo %ip%|nset /s: boot-server-ip=$2
echo %ip%|nset /s: gw-ip=$3
echo %ip%|nset /s: netmask=$4

that's it.
