How???

[SeanC]

What operating system are you running? That way we can give you the instructions.

Thanks,

It also depends if you're on DHCP or static...

Is this a local IP or a ISP IP!?

NEED INFO!

(Obviously OS is good too)

hum assuming you mean outside ip and you dont have a static ip then simply reconnecting to your isp (cycle your connection device) should get you a new ip. i wont ask why you need to change your outside ip

With my ISP I get a new one every time I change the device (NIC) connected to my modem.

If you have a router:
Go into the router DHCP settings. Hit release IP, hit renew IP.

If you are connected directly to the internet:
Open the DOS prompt and type "ipconfig /release" then type "ipconfig /renew"

Now you're good to go

Normal lan ip address change routine->

Start->Settings->Network and Dial-up connections
Right click on local area network connection, select properties.
Select the tcp/ip protocol and click properties.
There you can define ip, subnet, gateway and dns servers.
-M

What if he doesn't want to assign it himself and he wants it to auto detect?

[muno]

Click on dhcp assigned ip instead of static?
It's the radio button above statically assigned ip and dns.
-M

Thanks so much for the info, I too needed to know how to change my ip address. but, I go though a router. I tried this while going though the modem drectly, and it worked, but since there are other computers in this house, I just can't pull the plug on them for something like that. so....could you pleae tell me where the router DHCP settings are?

thank you so much!
