Changing IP Steps :
Changing your IP information requires two commands, one for your IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and another for your DNS settings. In order to change your IP address we use the netsh command, the exact command you want to use is the following:
netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254
his assumes the following:
- The name of the interface you want to change the IP address for is Local Area Network
- You want to statically assign an IP address of 192.168.0.1
- You want to set a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
- You want to set a default gateway of 192.168.0.254

Armed with this information you should obviously switch the settings out for some that are suited to your network. You might, however, be wondering how you can go from using an already set static IP address to getting an address from DHCP. In this case the command you are looking for is:
netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” source=dhcp
I think this article is about how to change IP address you are getting from the router on Windows. On Mac you do the following to get a new IP: Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced
ReplyDeleteChoose TCP/IP. You should be "Using DHCP". Renew DHCP lease for a new IP address.
You can set a manual IP address by switching to "Using DHCP with manual address".
This is not going to change your external IP address. To change your external IP address, refer to this guide: http://www.vpntips.com/how-to-change-ip-address/
