How to change IP address from command prompt [Solved/Closed]

Of course you can change the IP from the command prompt.

The command is:
to change IP and default gateway:
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" static 192.168.0.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 1

to change DNS:
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 192.168.0.254 primary

This is assuming 3 things.
1) The network adapter you're trying to change the IP for is "local area connection". It could also be "local area connection 2" or "wireless network connection". Look in your control panel for the correct name
2) The IP you want to set is 192.168.0.101, change this to whatever IP to want to use.
3) The default gateway and dns are the same IP. If you are using some kind of router they usually are. Change this to match your network config found with the command ipconfig /all

You will need to run both commands to change the IP.

To change to static IP:
----------------------------------------------------------------
This changes the IP address and Default Gateway:
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" static {192.168.0.101} 255.255.255.0 {192.168.0.254} 1

This changes DNS:
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static {192.168.0.254} primary
----------------------------------------------------------------
You will want to change the values between the curly braces, but do not use the curly braces when you run the command.
----------------------------------------------------------------
To change the interface back to DHCP (get IP automatically) use this command:
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" dhcp

DNS:
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" dhcp
----------------------------------------------------------------

I would recommend you view the help for this command, it will shed much more insight on what you're actually doing.
The netsh command allows you to change many things such the firewall configuration to the ip addresses.
You can get help for the netsh command by adding each word of the command and adding /?. For example:

=================================

C:\Documents and Settings\2xod>netsh int ip set /?

The following commands are available:

Commands in this context:
set address - Sets the IP address or default gateway to the specified interface.
set dns - Sets DNS server mode and addresses.
set wins - Sets WINS server mode and addresses.

=================================
C:\Documents and Settings\2xod>netsh int ip set address /?

Usage: set address [name=]<string>
[[source=]dhcp |
[source=] static [addr=]IP address [mask=]IP subnet mask]
[[gateway=]<IP address>|none [gwmetric=]integer]

Parameters:

Tag Value
name - The name of the interface.
source - One of the following values:
dhcp: Sets DHCP as the source for configuring IP
addresses for the specific interface.
static: Sets the source for configuring IP addresses
to local static configuration.

gateway - One of the following values:
<IP address>: A specific default gateway for the
static IP address you are setting.
none: No default gateways are set.
gwmetric - The metric for the default gateway. This field should
not be set if gateway is set to 'none'.
The following options are used only if source is 'static':

addr - An IP address for the specified interface.
mask - The subnet mask for the specified IP address.

Remarks: Used to change the IP address configuration mode from either DHCP to
static mode or static mode to DHCP. Adds IP addresses on an
interface with static IP address or adds default gateways.

Examples:

set address name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp
set address local static 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 1


C:\Documents and Settings\2xod>
=================================

If you ever mess up the configuration you can always modify the settings through the graphical interface of the control panel. From Start > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View, and open Network Connections


Before running these commands, look at your existing (working) IP configuration with the ipconfig command:
This will show you the Default Gateway and DNS entries to put in the commands above where the {braces} are.
================================
C:\Documents and Settings\2xod>ipconfig /all

Great help on the above posting.

Is it possible to use IF/Els conditional script between HDCP and static changes?

Suppose: When I run my script it will look for value DHCP=YES then it will run static IP change scripts and when it will find the Value DHCP=NO it will run the DHCP set script.

as an example:
=============
If DHCP = yes
then run Batch1

else skip

Batch1
netsh int IP set address "local area connection" static 192.168.1.12 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 192.168.0.254 primary
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 192.168.0.253 secondary

If DHCP = no
then run Batch2

Batch2
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" dhcp
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" dhcp
===========================

something like that.

Is it possible. Would appreciate your help on this.

Hello,

There's no way to effectively change it from a command prompt. You could use the ipconfig release and renew commands, but chances are you're just going to get your old IP address back, especially if you are behind a router or static IP.


Hope this will help you.

in command line write ipconfig /renew EL*

So how do I change a preferred DHCP ip address?

if ur command prompt there type command as ipconfig\all, then type the ipconfig\release then ipconfig\renew that's all

Hey everyone you will love this. This is the answer to your questions:

Just edit the name of the network connection, change IPs and save it as a batch file. Voila...

@ECHO OFF

set varip=172.20.16.131
set varsm=255.255.252.0
set vargw=172.20.16.1
set vardns1=172.20.0.16
set vardns2=
set varhome=http://www.google.com


ECHO Setting IP Address and Subnet Mask
netsh int ip set address name = "Wireless Network Connection" source = static addr = %varip% mask = %varsm%

ECHO Setting Gateway
netsh int ip set address name = "Wireless Network Connection" gateway = %vargw% gwmetric = 1

ECHO Setting Primary DNS
netsh int ip set dns name = "Wireless Network Connection" source = static addr = %vardns1%

ECHO Setting Secondary DNS
netsh int ip add dns name = "Wireless Network Connection" addr = %vardns2%

ECHO Setting Internet Explorer Homepage to %varhome%
reg add "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v "Start Page" /d "%varhome%" /f

rem ECHO Here are the new settings for %computername%:
rem netsh int ip show config

pause

please i really do need assistance on how to install an automatic Usa IP on my computer. I use windows XP. any assistance would be deeply and genuinely appreciated.

Create a text doc, and copy then paste the following to the text document.

@ECHO OFF
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /setclassid
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /renew
EXIT



Then go to file - save as, let the window open, and under Save As Type select All Files and name as fix.bat, click save and exit.
Go to where you saved file and double click on it, let it do it's thing and it will be fixed!
