How To Change IP Addresses on Windows XP | 2000 | NT

This post helps you to change IP address of your system manually.
Follow these steps to quickly release and/or renew the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a computer running Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT.

1) Click the 'Start' menu button on the Windows taskbar.

2) Click 'Run'... on this menu.

3) If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'cmd' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears. A command prompt window appears on the screen.

4) Type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) to view the status of the computer's IP address(es).



5) If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address.

6) Type 'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address (whether or not the computer is holding a current address).

    Tips:
    1. If it is not necessary to view the current IP addresses on a computer, simply type 'ipconfig /release' or 'ipconfig /renew' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears in Step 3.
    2. To bring a computer back onto the network after moving it to a different location, or experiencing an unexpected outage, first release, then renew the IP address. Computers on DHCP networks often (but not always) re-establish network connectivity automatically.
