How do I manually chage my IP address. I am using windows x/p home.Newbie at this, sorry if it is a dumb question.

You should have a "local area connection" icon is your system tool tray. Double-click on it - this will bring you to "network connections". Double-click on the network connection you want to modify - it is probably "local area connection". This opens the properties - so double-click on internet protocol (tcp/ip). This is where you modify your ip.

Also, at your dos prompt you can view your network settings by typing "ipconfig /all"

Thank you, where do I get the new address to imput manually

Is there a command for changing the network settings from the commandline ?

Thanks in Advance

Cheers

Explain to me why you are setting an ip for your machine - are you connected to a network/cable modem/dsl ?

I want to change the current IP Address that is used by my cable company. I know to go to TCP/IP configurations, but where do I find the address to input in a manuel mode, instead of automatic as it is now.

Clear as mud, right, sorry..

They are the ones who will assign an ip to you - dynamically using dhcp. Unless you have purchased a static ip (which costs alot more). In your network settings for tcp/ip you will have a choice between dynamic and static - chose dynamic if they are using dhcp.

I appreciate your help, Thanks
