You can change IP address with the help of the command "netsh"

To change IP address in the correct order, firstly, you need to find out the current configuration. To do that you may use the following command:

netsh interface IP show address

After that you can see the current network interface configuration. We are interested in the name of the interface. Let's assume that it isFASTNET.

The requirement is to change IP address to 192.168.1.42. The Net addressing is static without DHCP use, gateway 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0. In that case, the command that should be executed has the following syntax:

netsh interface IP set address name="FASTNET" static 192.168.1.42 255.255.255.0 192.169.1.1 1

After the command is finished, FASTNET interface will be changed to 192.168.1.42.

The command "netsh" provides a wide range of possibilities for Net settings control using the command line. To review other functional capabilities use help with the command: netsh /?
