Changing IP address via CMD on windows XP

  • 772

Im trying to change a machine ip address vi CMD with this code: 

netsh int ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=???.???.???.??? mask=255.255.255.0

The problem that the IP doesn't changed (checked by ipconfig) but doesn't not changed on the DHCP. Thus when i restart the machine, the IP is returned to DHCP. I need a pay to change the ip permanently via CMD.

Any ideas?

windows windows-xp netsh

  1. Try this: netsh interface ip set address name=”<network connection name>” static <static IP> <network mask> <default gateway>

    which looks like:

    netsh interface ip set address name=”Ethernet Network Connection” static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

    Most of the examples I've seen of setting a static IP through netsh don't use the source= and addr= parts. Have you tried like this?

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

    Where 192.168.0.100 is your IP, 192.168.0.1 is your default gateway, and 1 is the metric?
