Can netsh be used to set an interface metric in Windows XP?

Can the netsh command be used to set an interface metric in Windows XP?  I'm  trying to set a metric on the Wireless NIC and the only way I see to do it is from the GUI.  In Windows 7, the command: 'netsh interface ipv4 set interface "Wireless Network Connection" metric=100' does the job, but it doesn't translate back to XP.  Is there such a command in XP?

Thanks bryon44035v3, yeah I'm aware of the GUI method.  Looking to script this so as to implement on several hundred machines.  AFAIK, it can't be done in Group Policy, otherwise I'd go that route...
