The IP address of your computer can be set from the command prompt by running the following commands at an administrative level prompt:<\/p>\n

\"CommandPrompt\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.0 123.123.123.1 1<\/p>\n

Local Area Connection is the name of the adapter you want to modify. In single NIC systems it is normally called Local Area Connection.<\/p>\n

123.123.123.123 is the IP address you want to set.<\/p>\n

255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask.<\/p>\n

123.123.123.1 is the gateway.<\/p>\n

1 is the gateway metric. You can leave this as 1 for almost all cases.<\/p>\n

If you want to enable DHCP you can run:<\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” dhcp<\/p>\n

There are two commands for DNS since administrators typically configure a primary and secondary DNS server.<\/p>\n

For the primary DNS run:<\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set dns name=”Local Area Connection” static 208.67.222.222<\/p>\n

For the secondary run:<\/p>\n

netsh interface ip add dns name=”Local Area Connection” 208.67.220.220 index=2<\/p>\n

If you want to configure the computer to use DNS from DHCP run:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set dnsservers name=”Local Area Connection” source=dhcp<\/p>\n

When you are finished with all of your IP and DNS changes run ipconfig -all to review the new settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
