Changing IP address via command line on Windows XP

Question

I\'m trying to change a machine IP address via cmd.exe with this code:

netsh int ip set address name=\"Local Area Connection\" source=static addr=???.???.??         


        

Answer 1

You can use the command below:

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

where

• the 192.168.0.100 is the IP address
• the netmask is 255.255.255.0
• and the gateway is 192.168.0.1

You can also have the DNS configured automatically by DHCP using following command:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp

netsh interface ip add dns name="Wi-Fi" 8.8.8.8 index=2 //this change DNS
