How to Changing Your Private IP address
Renew your IP address in the command prompt. To open the command prompt, enter “cmd” into the Search field in the Start menu. In Windows 8, type “cmd” when on the Start screen.
1. Once the command prompt it open type: “ipconfig /release”
After the message is displayed, type: “ipconfig /renew”
You will see your new IP address and other connection settings displayed.
2. Change your IP address through the router. Routers assign every device on the network a private IP address. You can change the IP address of each device by opening the configuration page of your router.
3. Open the LAN Setup section. The wording for the section will vary depending on the router brand. Look for the Address Reservation section. Here you can assign permanent private IPs to specific devices. Create a new entry.
Select the device from the list of connected devices. If you don’t see it, you will need to manually enter the device’s MAC address and name.
4. Choose an IP address. Typically you can leave the first three sections of the address the same (usually 192.168.1). The last section is the number that you should change. On most routers you can enter any number between 1 and 100, although some let you go as high as 254.
Make sure that the address you pick is not currently in use by another device on the network. This will cause a conflict, and one device will lose its connection.
