How to change your IP address via the Command Prompt on Windows PC?

Firstly, open the command prompt as administrator:

  • Press the Windows key on your keyboard or click Start to bring up the boot menu.
  • In the search bar, type "cmd".
  • Instead of validating the search, press CTRL + SHIFT + Enter

To change IP and default gateway

  • netsh int ip set address "local area connection" static 192.168.0.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 1 

To change DNS:

  • netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 192.168.0.254 primary 

This procedure will work, based on the following:

  • The network adapter you're trying to change the IP for named "local area connection". It could also be named as "local area connection 2" or "wireless network connection".

  • Look in your control panel for the correct name
  • The IP you want to set is 192.168.0.101, change this to whatever IP you want to use.
  • The default gateway and DNS are the same as the IP. Change this to match your network config found with the command ipconfig /all
