Changing of IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway on a "Local Area Network" , NOT "Wireless Network Connection" using bat file

I want to change the above without going to Network Sharing Center. So i used a batch file. I found this code but it only works for Wireless Network Connection but not for "Local Area Networks". I also tried to rename my connections before rerunning the script but it still does not change anything. The code is below

set connectionName="Local Area Connection" set staticIP=192.168.247.2 set subnetMask=255.255.255.0 set defaultGateway=192.168.247.2 netsh interface ip set address %connectionName% static %staticIP% %subnetMask% %defaultGateway% 1 (the last sentence is in a single line)

I also tried to use a simpler code as shown below

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.30.77 255.255.255.0 192.168.30.2

But in the end both programmers didn't change anything when i check the settings under Ipv4.

Can anyone please help me with this?

• Try "netsh interface show interface" and change address of an existing interface name rather than "Local Area Connection". –  lx07 Jan 26, 2019 at 15:59

Open control panel, all control panel, network connections and rename your ethernet adapter by right clicking and selecting 'rename'.

Delete the old name and add "Local Area Connection" - Press enter.

Run script again.

• Hi, i did what you suggested but it doesn't seem to work –  NightKnight Jan 26, 2019 at 14:58
• It has to be exact including capitalisation - try eth0 instead and reflect that in the batch script - reboot after renaming too. –  JohnnyVegas Jan 27, 2019 at 8:52
• Yup, renaming it as eth0 works. Thanks for the help –  NightKnight Jan 27, 2019 at 10:31

How to assign a static ip address in windows 10 or windows 11.

When organizing your home network it's easier to assign each computer it's own IP address than using DHCP. Here we will take a look at doing it in XP,

Quick Links

What is a static ip address, assign static ip addresses via your router, how to set a static ip address in windows 11, how to set a static ip address in windows 10, how to set a static ip address in windows 7 or 8 using "network connections", set a static ip address in windows vista, set a static ip address in windows xp, key takeaways.

• To set a static IP address in Windows 10 or 11, open Settings -> Network & Internet and click Properties for your active network.
• Choose the "Edit" button next to IP assignment and change the type to Manual.
• Flip the IPv4 switch to "On", fill out your static IP details, and click Save.

Sometimes, it's better to assign a PC its own IP address rather than letting your router assign one automatically. Join us as we take a look at assigning a static IP address in Windows.

A static IP address is manually set to a permanent, fixed address rather than being assigned automatically by your router using a procotol known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP is a handy way for devices to connect to your network more easily, because you don't have to configure IP addressing for each new device yourself. The downside to automatic addressing is that it's possible for a device's IP address to change from time to time, which is why people choose static IPs for certain types of devices. For example:

• You have a device like a home media server that you want to be able to find using the same IP address or host name each time.
• You have certain apps that can only connect to network devices using their IP address. In particular, many older networking apps suffer this limitation.
• You forward ports through your router to devices on your network. Some routers play nice with port forwarding and dynamic IP addresses; others do not.

Whatever your reason, assigning static IP addresses to devices is not difficult, but you do have a choice to make---whether to do it from the router or on the device itself.

While this article covers assigning static IP addresses to PCs within Windows itself, there is another way to go about it. Many routers allow you to assign a pool of IP addresses that are handed out to specific devices (based on the device's physical, or MAC address). This method offers a couple of significant advantages:

• IP addresses are still managed by the router, meaning that you won't have to make (and keep up with) changes on each individual device.
• It's easier to assign addresses within the same IP address pool your router uses.

This article is about assigning static IP addresses directly to PCs running Windows. We've already got a great guide on How to Set Static IP Addresses On Your Router , so if that's the way you want to go, be sure to give it a read.

With all that in mind, though, let's take a look at how to assign static IP addresses within any version of Windows.

Related: How to Find Your Router's IP Address on Any Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet

To set a static IP address in Windows 11, you'll want to open Settings, go to Network & Internet, and then find the Properties for your network. Inside there you'll be able to click the Edit button for IP Assignment and then fill out the manual network details.

First, open up the Settings app and then find Network & Internet on the left-hand side. You'll be presented with a panel that shows your current network connection. You can click where it says "Properties" right underneath the network, or if you have multiple network connections you can drill down into the specific network to see the IP address details for each one . In this case it's called "Ethernet", but you will most likely see "Wi-Fi" as the option to choose.

Once you've drilled down into the network connection that you want to set a manual IP for, scroll down until you see "IP Assignment" and then click the Edit button to the right.

Once there, you'll flip the drop-down to "Manual" and switch the IPv4 switch to "On". At this point you can fill out your network details and click Save to finish.

You can also use the old-school Network Connections panel in Windows 11, so if you prefer to use that method, keep reading.

If you're interested in more advanced networking, you might need to set up a static TCP/IP route , reset the entire TCP/IP stack on Windows , check open TCP/IP ports , find your MAC address on Windows , or find your IP address from the Command Prompt . We've got you covered there too.

To set a static IP address in Windows 10, you'll need to open the Settings app and drill down to Network & Internet. From there you'll select Properties for your network, and then the Edit button next to IP Assignment where you can input a manual IP address.

First, open the Settings app and locate the Network & Internet button.

On the next screen you'll see your network status, which should show you your active network. Here you'll want to click the Properties button. If you have multiple different networks, you could select them from the left-hand menu---in our case you'll notice we have both Wi-Fi and Ethernet networks, so you'll want to pick the one that you are trying to set a manual IP address for. You'll notice this is the same method we use when we're trying to find an IP address on Windows 10 .

On the network properties screen, scroll down until you see "IP settings" and click the Edit button under "IP assignment".

In the resulting popup window, change the Edit IP settings dropdown to Manual and then flip the IPv4 switch to "On". Fill out the details, click Save, and you should be good to go.

You might need to reboot to get all of your applications to work properly, just because it's Windows.

It's worth noting that you can use the old Network Connections method to set an IP address in any version of Windows, so if you prefer that method, keep reading.

To change the computer's IP address in Windows 7, you'll need to open the "Network Connections" window. Hit Windows+R, type "ncpa.cpl" into the Run box, and then hit Enter.

In the "Network Connections" window, right-click the adapter for which you want to set a static IP address, and then select the "Properties" command.

In the properties window for the adapter, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and then click the "Properties" button.

Select the "Use the following IP address" option, and then type in the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that corresponds with your network setup. Next, type in your preferred and alternate DNS server addresses. Finally, select the "Validate settings upon exit" option so that Windows immediately checks your new IP address and corresponding information to ensure that it works. When you're ready, click the "OK" button.

And then close out of the network adapter's properties window.

Windows automatically runs network diagnostics to verify that the connection is good. If there are problems, Windows will give you the option of running the Network troubleshooting wizard. However, if you do run into trouble, the wizard likely won't do you too much good. It's better to check that your settings are valid and try again.

Changing your IP from DHCP to a Static address in Vista is similar to other versions of Windows, but getting to the correct location is a bit different. Open the Start Menu, right-click on Network, and select Properties.

The Network and Sharing Center opens...click on Manage network connections.

Right-click on the network adapter you want to assign an IP address and click Properties.

Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click the Properties button.

Now change the IP, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server Addresses. When you're finished click OK.

You'll need to close out of Local Area Connection Properties for the settings to go into effect.

Open the Command Prompt and use the

command to verify that the changes were successful.

To set a Static IP in Windows XP, right-click the "My Network Places" icon, and then select "Properties."

Right-click the adapter for which you want to set the IP, and then select "Properties" from the context menu.

Select the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" entry, and then click the "Properties" button.

Select the "Use the following IP address" option. Type in the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses you want to use. When you're finished, click the "OK" button.

You will need to close out of the adapter's properties window before the changes go into effect.

And you can verify your new settings by using the

 command at the command prompt.

By and large, it's better to let most of your devices have their IP addresses assigned automatically by your router. Occasionally, though, you might want to set a static IP address for a particular device. While you can set static IP addresses directly on your devices (and this article has shown you how to do just that on Windows PCs), we still recommending setting up static IP addressing on your router if possible. It will just make life easier.

How to set a Static IP address on Windows 10/Server

Hello! Let’s talk about IP addresses. It’s a number that identifies the computers or devices on a network. For example, a PC or a cell phone. In addition, they are divided into public IP addresses and private IP addresses. The public one is the one offered by the Internet access provider. Additionally, it is assigned to any computer or device connected directly to the Internet. This value cannot be modified by the user. In any case, what can be done is to hide it. On the other hand, the private IP address is used to identify computers or devices within a home or private network. This address can be dynamic, assigned through a DHCP server. It can also be static. That is, assigned by the user manually or by the network server. Well, in this post we will see how to set a Static IP address on Windows 10/ Server.

How to assign a static IP address on Windows 10 or Windows Server.

By default, operating systems assign the private IP address dynamically. That is, assigned by DHCP. The main reason for this is that everything is more automatic for connecting devices. Also, there is no need to configure anything and it saves time. On the other hand, this configuration can cause problems in some scenarios. For example, in a Server environment, a dynamic IP address is not recommended. Since it changes periodically, then it can affect the connectivity between the client computers and the server. Well, let’s look at the procedure for setting a static IP address. In the first place, it is necessary to follow the following path:

• Control Panel

• Network and Internet

• Network and Sharing Center

Once there, please click on Change adapter settings

All available network adapters will be displayed immediately. Please select the currently connected adapter and double-click on it. This will take you to the status. Finally, click on the Properties.

Modifying the IPV4 values.

Now it is necessary to configure the values of Internet Protocol Version 4. With this in mind, select the value and then click on Properties.

As you can see, the values corresponding to the IP address and the DNS server are obtained automatically.

Now it is time to modify these values according to the user’s taste. If you have trouble choosing the static IP address, I recommend using the one currently used. With this intention, from a Command Prompt run the command ipconfig. Once there, you can copy the corresponding values:

Then, just add those values to the corresponding table. As far as the DNS is concerned, please add the corresponding value to the Default gateway. Press OK to continue.

And this is all! In this simple way, we have seen how to set a static IP address in Windows 10/Server. From now on, you can play with this value within the network. Before I say goodbye, I invite you to see our post about resetting the user password in Windows Server. Bye!

How to block advertising on android using dns, how to create multiple users in android 14, how to use opera free vpn on your android device.

Most of us in the industrial automation world connect to our company (or home) network using DHCP. But we also need to connect to our automation device networks via static IP address, resulting in many trips to the control panel to change our IP address settings.

But when you have multiple systems it becomes challenging to remember what IP address settings you need for each system.

To address this Darrell created several batch files that, when “double clicked,” change his Windows XP system’s IP address settings to match the system he needs to connect to. This not only saves him the time required to manually change these settings in the control panel, it also helps his colleagues (who connect less often) quickly chose the right IP address settings for the many systems they need to connect to.

Below I’ll paste in the contents of two of Darrell’s batch files which he was kind enough to share with our readers. The first is used for connecting in his office network via DHCP, and the second is used to connect to one of his automation systems (I’ve edited the text of the second file to remove the actual  system’s IP address settings.)

Text File name:

Office LAN Network Settings.bat

Text File Contents:

ECHO This file is brought to you by DARRELL CLARK!

ECHO Resetting IP Address and Subnet Mask For DHCP netsh int ip set address name = “Local Area Connection” source = dhcp

ECHO Here are the new settings for %computername%: netsh int ip show config

Automation System 1 Network Settings.bat

ECHO Resetting IP Address and Subnet Mask For ********* automation system

netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” source=static addr=192.168.100.2 mask=255.255.255.0

To use the above text in a batch file on Windows XP, simply copy the text and paste it into Notepad. Then change the settings to match your requirements and save the file with a name which represents your system and ends with the .BAT file extension.

I hope Darrell’s batch files can be of some help for you. Admittedly, they are written for a Windows XP system so if you’ve created similar batch files for Windows 7 we’ve love to hear from you! You can leave your comments to this article by using the “post a comment or question” link below.

Static to DHCP, bat file

I have this code (.bat file) that I want to run by going to each computer that is logged in and executing it. However, not all users have admin rights. Is there anything I can do without logging off to change the IP's from static to DHCP?

You really want to do this with Group Policy. You can set this as a computer startup script and it will run as the local SYSTEM account, which has permission to change these settings.

Otherwise, you can use psexec to run it remotely on a machine as a privileged user.

• I tried it as a startup script but running gpresult seems to have it filtered out for some reason. –  Markaway Dec 5, 2012 at 16:27
• 1 You should try and track down why and fix it. Not being able to use Group Policy is crippling. –  MDMarra Dec 5, 2012 at 16:45
• I added Auth Users, the name of the computer, and the user that logs in. None of it seems to make a difference. Is it safe to put the GPO directly under the domain name rather than in the OU ? –  Markaway Dec 5, 2012 at 16:51
• 1 That warning message is because different GPOs may apply (which is actually what you want). It's not going to break authentication or anything. Generally, you can move objects freely between OUs with no ill effects other than the applied GPOs changing. Test it with one machine, do gpupdate /force on it to get the new policy immediately after moving it, then reboot and make sure you're good. If you are, move the rest. –  MDMarra Dec 5, 2012 at 17:08
• 2 The Domain Computers group is not part of Authenticated users, and of course it needs to be shared. How else would the computers have access to the script if it isn't shared? A standard place to put this is the sysvol share for the domain. It sounds like you might need to read through some TechNet articles about Group Policy design and implementation before you go any farther. Group Policy is very powerful and you should have a much better understanding of how it works before you go any farther. It's a very dangerous thing if you don't know what you're doing. –  MDMarra Dec 5, 2012 at 17:22

not work for me on windows 7 x64. i use it for wireless network. any help? script is here: @echo off echo Choose: echo [A] Set Static IP echo [B] Set DHCP echo. :choice SET /P C=[A,B]? for %%? in (A) do if /I "%C%"=="%%?" goto A for %%? in (B) do if /I "%C%"=="%%?" goto B goto choice :A @echo off echo "Please enter Static IP Address Information" echo "Static IP Address:" set /p IP_Addr=192.168.1.101

echo "Default Gateway:" set /p D_Gate=192.168.1.1

echo "Subnet Mask:" set /p Sub_Mask=255.255.255.0

echo "Setting Static IP Information" netsh interface ip set address "wireless network connection" static %IP_Addr% %Sub_Mask% %D_Gate% 1 netsh int ip show config pause goto end

:B @ECHO OFF ECHO Resetting IP Address and Subnet Mask For DHCP netsh int ip set address name = "wireless network connection" source = dhcp

Thank you for sharing this, it is a very useful how-to.

Hi Sir. Im no IT . I dont study computer but i have little knowledge about it most of the time i search things to things about computer . . . and now I encounter one of the most annoying problem . I have two connections 3 MBps dynamic and 5 MBps dynamic . what i want to do is to use them both on my network . . .but i dont have any idea how to do that. I want to use my 3MBps on my internet like google chrome and firefox and my 5mbps on my online games. if that was not possible can you just help me on changing my default gateway from 3mbps to 5 mbps on batch file. .. please . help me sir :-(

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if this script could be tweaked to set the dns ip addresses?

Guys I modified it so that you can create profiles if you are to using alot of ips and so on then u can just choose a profile here is the code: (Note: rem doesnt do anything it just makes it easy to write stuff)

:menu cls @echo off title IP Changer echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- echo IP Changer by Inforcer25 v1.0 echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- echo. echo. echo. echo. echo. echo Select a Option echo ================ echo. echo [1] Set Static IP [4] Make Profile echo [2] Reset DHCP [5] Delete Profile echo [3] Use Profile [6] Exit echo. set /p op=Enter Option: if %op%==1 goto set_static_ip if %op%==2 goto set_dhcp if %op%==3 goto use_profile if %op%==4 goto make_profile_1 if %op%==5 goto del_profile if %op%==6 goto exit goto error

rem =======================================================================================================================================

:set_static_ip cls @echo off echo "Please enter Static IP Address Information" echo "Static IP Address:" set /p IP_Addr=

echo "Default Gateway:" set /p D_Gate=

echo "Subnet Mask:" set /p Sub_Mask=

echo "Setting Static IP Information" netsh interface ip set address "LAN" static %IP_Addr% %Sub_Mask% %D_Gate% 1 netsh int ip show config pause goto menu

:set_dhcp cls @ECHO OFF ECHO Resetting IP Address and Subnet Mask For DHCP netsh int ip set address name = "LAN" source = dhcp

pause goto menu

:use_profile @echo off cls echo. echo. echo. echo. echo Please enter the profile name. echo. set /p profile=Profile name: start C:\IP_Changer\Profiles\%profile%.bat exit

:make_profile_1 cls @echo off if not exist "C:\IP_Changer" mkdir C:\IP_Changer\Profiles echo. echo. echo. echo "Profile name Info" echo. echo Please note that you will have to change the bat file name by yourself! echo After this info you will be redirected to the location to change the echo (change_name).bat yourself! echo. echo. echo "Please enter Static IP Address Information" echo. echo "Static IP Address:" set /p make_IP_Addr=Static IP Address: echo. echo "Default Gateway:" set /p make_D_Gate=Default Gateway: echo. echo "Subnet Mask:" set /p make_Sub_Mask=Subnet Mask: echo.

goto prof_made

:prof_made cls echo. echo. echo. echo. echo The profile has now been made! echo. echo Press any key to exit! pause >nul start C:\IP_Changer\Profiles\ goto menu

:del_profile cls echo. echo. echo. echo Enter the profile neame you wish to delete without (.bat) echo. set /p del_prof_name=Profile name: del C:\IP_Changer\Profiles\%del_prof_name%.bat goto del_prof_fin

:del_prof_fin cls echo. echo. echo. echo Profile Deleted! ping localhost -n 3 >nul echo. echo. echo You will be redirected to so that you can check if it is deleted ping localhost -n 8 >nul start C:\IP_Changer\Profiles goto menu

:error cls echo. echo. echo. echo. echo. echo. echo OOPS! Wrong Option echo. echo. pause goto menu

@adriaanboshoff when trying to execute your script above I receive an error of "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

I've removed the local drives for how your saving the profiles and redirect them to a UNC Share path. Although I'm not using the profiles function yet, trying to first get the static IP set to make sure it works correctly.

Can you set it up so it adds Primary and Secondary Static DNS? Other than that it is awesome!

Has this been updated for Win10 systems? If so can anyone point me in the right direction.

i just wondering if it is possible to create batch file to change ip of multiple computers. I'm planning to incorporate this in GPO. Is that Possible. If you have sample script it will really a big help for me.

Thanks!! :)

I'm new to this. The script format is completely broken.
