There are many reasons why a person would want to change his or her IP address. This tutorial will show you how to change the IP address of a wired or wireless computer, not the IP address of an internet connection. (To do this, you need to contact your service provider.) Read on to find out how to change your IP address on both a Windows and Mac computer.

It’s easy enough to change an IP address on your PC using Control Panel, but did you know you can also do it from the Command Prompt?

Changing your IP address with the Control Panel interface isn’t difficult, but it does require clicking through a number of different windows and dialog boxes. If you’re a fan of the Command Prompt, though, you can get it done more quickly using the netsh command, which is just one of the great network utilities built into Windows .

The netsh command allows you to configure just about any aspect of your network connections in Windows. To work with it, you’ll need to open Command Prompt with administrative privileges. In Windows 10 or 8.1, right-click the Start menu (or press Windows+X on your keyboard) and choose “Command Prompt (Admin).” In previous versions of Windows, search Start for “command prompt” and then right-click the result and choose “Run as Administrator.”

View Your Network Information

Before you change your IP address and related information, you’ll need to find the full name of the network for the interface you want to change. To do this, type the following command:

Scroll down until you see the interface you’re looking for. In our example, we’re going to modify the Wi-Fi interface, which on our machine is just named “Wi-Fi.” You’ll also see other default names that Windows assigns to interfaces, such as “Local Area Connection,” “Local Area Connection* 2,” and “Ethernet.” Just find the one you’re looking for and make note of the exact name. You can also copy and paste the name to Notepad and then back into Command Prompt later to make things easier.

Change Your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway

With the interface name in hand, you’re ready to change the IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway. To do this, you’ll issue a command using the following syntax:

So, for example, your command might look something like the following:

where the info is replaced by whatever you want to use. In our example, the command does the following:

And if you’re using a static IP address but want to switch to using an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server–such as your router–you can use the following command instead:

Change Your DNS Settings

You can also use the netsh command to change the DNS servers used by a network interface. Third-party DNS servers–like Google Public DNS and OpenDNS –can be faster and more reliable than the DNS servers provided by your ISP. Whatever your reason for changing your DNS server , you can do it either at the router so it affects all the devices that get their information from the router or at the individual device. If you want to change the DNS servers for just one PC, it’s easy to do with the netsh command.

You’ll need to use the command twice: once to set your primary DNS server and once to set your secondary, or backup, DNS server. To set your primary DNS server, use the following syntax:

So, for example, your command might look something like the following (in which we set it to Google’s primary public DNS server, 8.8.8.8):

To set your secondary DNS server, you’ll use a very similar command:

So, continuing our example, you might set your secondary DNS as the Google Public DNS secondary server, which is 8.8.4.4:

And just like with the IP address, you can also change it so that the network interface grabs its DNS settings automatically from a DHCP server instead. Just use the following command:

And there you have it. Whether you like typing at the command prompt better or just want to impress your coworkers, now you know all the command line magic you need for changing your IP address settings.

You may manually assign the default gateway and the IP address and check if it works fine. Before assigning the IP address and the Default gateway manually, make a note of the IP address on the computer. To do this open Command prompt and type ipconfig and press enter. This will display the IP address, make a note of it.

To assign the IP address and default gateway manually, follow the steps below:

a) In system tray, right click network icon. Choose Open Network and Sharing Center.

b) Right click on Local Area Connection and click on Properties.

c) Double click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and assign the IP address manually.

Example: Old IP address is 192.168.0.1

d) Change the IP address to 192.168.0.50

e) Let the Subnet mask and default gateway be the same.

f) Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

g) Default gateway, usually would be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

h) Click on Apply and Ok, restart the computer, and verify if it helps to fix the issue.

Hi, If you are on a router you can reserve an IP in the DHCP settings or you can hardset the IP in Windows 7 to an address range within what the router uses.

Hah, that was pretty good. :)

This site has some more info - someone says it's not possible to change it -

http://superuser.com/questions/470585/how-to-force-windows-7-to-ask-for-a-fresh-ip-address-from-dhcp-server

Just a quick note. I don't think it's really critical to the Q&A here, but the example given for the default gateway is potentially misleading in this answer.

So, while the router's interface acting as the default gateway could be any IP address in the subnet, it does HAVE TO BE in the same subnet. So since this example is a 255.255.255.0 mask, then the default gateway would have to be 192.168.0.XXX where XXX is any valid host IP address NOT currently being used. Note that the word "valid host" in this case implies that it is NOT 0 and NOT 255.

Specifically, given this mask and the example IPs, the default gateway cannot have a third octet value of 1.

Change TCP/IP settings

TCP/IP defines how your PC communicates with other PCs.

To make it easier to manage TCP/IP settings, we recommend using automated Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP automatically assigns Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to the computers on your network if your network supports it. If you use DHCP, then you don't have to change your TCP/IP settings if you move your PC to another location, and DHCP doesn't require you to manually configure TCP/IP settings, such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).

To enable DHCP or change other TCP/IP settings

Select Start , then type settings . Select Settings > Network & internet .

Do one of the following:

For a Wi-Fi network, select Wi-Fi > Manage known networks . Choose the network for which you want to change the settings.

For an Ethernet network, select Ethernet , then select the Ethernet network you’re connected to.

Next to IP assignment , select Edit .

Under Edit network IP settings or Edit IP settings , select Automatic (DHCP) or Manual .

To specify IPv4 settings manually

Under Edit network IP settings or Edit IP settings , choose Manual , then turn on IPv4 .

To specify an IP address, in the IP address, Subnet mask , and Gateway boxes, type the IP address settings.

To specify a DNS server address, in the Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS boxes, type the addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.

To specify if you want to use an encrypted (DNS over HTTPS) or unencrypted connection to the DNS server or servers you specify, for DNS over HTTPS , choose the setting you want:

Off : All DNS queries will be sent to the DNS server unencrypted in plaintext over HTTP.

On (automatic template) : DNS queries will be encrypted and sent to the DNS server over HTTPS. DNS queries will use the default settings for the automatic template or try to discover them automatically.

On (manual template) : DNS queries will be encrypted and sent to the DNS server over HTTPS. They’ll use the settings you enter in the DNS over HTTPS template box.

If you use DNS over HTTPS (automatic or manual template), turn Fallback to plaintext on or off:

When it’s turned on, a DNS query will be sent unencrypted if it can’t be sent over HTTPS.

When it’s turned off, a DNS query won’t be sent if it can’t be sent over HTTPS.

To specify IPv6 settings manually

Under Edit network IP settings or Edit IP settings , choose Manual , then turn on IPv6 .

To specify an IP address, in the IP address , Subnet prefix length , and Gateway boxes, type the IP address settings.

When you select Automatic (DHCP) , the IP address settings and DNS server address setting are set automatically by your router or other access point (recommended).

When you select Manual , you can manually set your IP address settings and DNS server address.

When you’re done, select Save .

Note: To install IPv4, run Command Prompt as an administrator, type netsh interface ipv4 install , and then press Enter .

Select Start , then select Settings > Network & Internet .

For a Wi-Fi network, select Wi-Fi > Manage known networks . Choose the network you want to change the settings for, then select Properties.

For an Ethernet network, select Ethernet , then select the Ethernet network you’re connected to.

Under IP assignment , select Edit .

When you select Manual , you can manually set your IP address settings and DNS server address.

When you’re done, select Save .

In Windows 8.1, select the Start button, start typing View network connections , and then select View network connections in the list.

In Windows 7, open Network Connections by selecting the Start button, and then selecting Control Panel . In the search box, type adapter , and then, under Network and Sharing Center , select View network connections .

Right-click the connection that you want to change, and then select Properties . If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

How to Change Your IP Address

If you need to spoof your IP address, there are a few ways to do it

What to Know

This article explains how to change your IP address manually by switching from the router's assigned DHCP address to a static one on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It also covers how to change your router's public IP address, which appears as the public IP address of every device on the network unless you use a VPN.

You can also get a new IP by releasing and renewing your IP .

Change a Windows Computer's IP Address

If your Windows computer has the IP address set up as a static one, change the IP address as follows:

Open Control Panel and select Network and Sharing Center . If you don't see it, first select Network and Internet .

Choose Change adapter settings .

Double-click the connection that you want to change the IP address on. For example, to change the wireless adapter's IP address, double-click the one that mentions Wi-Fi.

Select Properties .

Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) .

Either alter the IP address or select Obtain an IP address automatically to have the router control the IP address.

If you leave the setting to obtain an IP address automatically, the router automatically assigns an IP address to the computer. However, when you enter the IP address information, the computer's IP address stays static.

Leave Obtain DNS server address automatically selected. Otherwise, your DNS server settings remain empty, which may cause other connection issues.

Change a Mac Computer's IP Address

Here's how to change the IP address on a Mac.

Open the System Preferences app on the Mac and select Network .

Select your Wi-Fi network in the left panel and click Advanced .

Select the TCP/IP tab.

Select Manually in the drop-down menu next to Configure IPv6 (or iPv4) and enter the information for the new IP.

Change a Phone's IP Address on iPhone

You can also change the IP address on a mobile device such as the Apple iPhone as follows:

Open the Settings app and select Wi-Fi .

Tap the small ( i ) next to the network and select Configure IP .

Choose Manual . Enter the network details manually, such as your IP address and DNS information.

The choice of a specific local IP address does not affect the network performance in any meaningful way.

Change a Phone's IP Address on Android

It's also possible to change an Android device's IP to a static IP on your network.

Android phones can vary depending on the manufacturer of the device. Some manufacturers alter the Android OS to meet their specifications, which means the steps you need to follow may differ slightly from those listed here. These steps should apply to most Android devices.

Go to Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi .

Tap the network that you want to change the IP address for.

Select Forget .

Tap the network from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Select Advanced options .

Choose Static .

Scroll down and fill out the IP address fields.

Enter the Wi-Fi password at the top of the screen.

Select Connect .

Change a Router's IP Address

To change the router's IP address, log in to the router as an administrator. From the control panel, change the IP address to whatever you like. However, this IP address is usually changed when there's a problem with it. The default IP address should suffice for most situations.

How to Change Your Public IP Address

An external public IP address is the address used to communicate with networks outside of your own, such as those on the internet. Use a VPN to mask or hide your real IP address. You can also use a web proxy to mask your public IP.

Why Change Your IP Address?

Some ISPs assign static IP addresses to their subscribers. Home users are commonly configured with a dynamic IP address . Either way, you may be able to contact your ISP to request a new static IP or a dynamic IP change. You can't change your external internet IP address on your own.

Some people change their public external IP address to avoid online bans or bypass country location restrictions that some sites impose on video content.

Changing the IP address of a client computer, phone, or router is useful when:

No. There are many reasons someone may want to change their IP address. However, if you're on a work setup or have a home network running, messing with IP addresses can sometimes cause headaches, so make sure you know what you're doing.

It's possible but not probable. If you're power-cycling your router , the address likely won't change. Still, if you reset your router to factory defaults, it's more likely the device will assign new addresses.

Yes, you can. However, you need third-party software. A VPN , or virtual private network, gives you unique IP addresses in places anywhere on earth.

How to change the IP address of a network adapter

3 contributors

This article provides some information about how to change the IP address of a network adapter.

Applies to: Windows Server 2012 R2 Original KB number: 323444

This article describes how to change the Internet Protocol (IP) address that is assigned to a network adapter. An IP address may be assigned automatically if your network has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or you can specify an IP address.

How to change the IP address assigned to a Network Adapter

How to automatically obtain an IP Address

Follow these steps to configure the computer to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. You must have a DHCP server.

Click Obtain an IP address automatically .

Click Obtain DNS server address automatically if you do not want to specify the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server.

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.

At the command prompt, type ipconfig /release, and then press ENTER.

Type ipconfig /renew, and then press ENTER.

The network adapter is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, and a message similar to the following appears:

Type exit, and then press ENTER to quit the command prompt.

How to Specify an IP Address

To assign an IP address to the network adapter, follow these steps:

Troubleshooting

There is an IP address conflict: If you try to assign an IP address that is already in use, you receive the following error message:

The static IP address that was just configured is already in use on the network. Please reconfigure a different IP address.

In this case, assign an unused IP address to the network adapter.

Your computer cannot connect to other computers on the network: If you assign an incorrect subnet mask address to the network adapter, the computer is effectively located on a different network. You cannot connect to other computers on the network.

Your computer cannot connect to other computers by using host names: If you assign an incorrect DNS server IP address, or if you do not use a DNS server, you cannot connect to computers by using their host names. It prevents you from browsing the Internet. You can connect to other computers by using their IP addresses.

To work around this issue in a local network, add host-name-to-IP-address mappings in a Hosts file.
