To change the IP address of your PC, open Network Settings, select your active connection, and choose Edit IP settings. Switch from automatic (DHCP) to manual, then enter a new IP address within your network’s range. Save the changes and reconnect for the new local IP to apply.

To change the IP address of your PC, open Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network Connections. Right-click your active network, select Properties, choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and enter a new IP address manually. Click OK to save changes.

You can change the IP address of your PC by restarting your router if you use a dynamic IP. This may assign a new public IP from your ISP. For a local IP change, adjust the IPv4 settings in your network adapter properties.

Another way to change the IP address of your PC is through Command Prompt. Release your current IP using ipconfig /release, then type ipconfig /renew to request a new one from your router. This works when DHCP is enabled.

To change your PC’s public IP instantly, use a VPN service. A VPN assigns a different IP address based on the selected server location. For internal network changes, manually configure IPv4 settings in your network adapter options.
