How to change (dynamic) IP address in Windows 7 or Vista?

Had the same problem on Vista, upgrade to Win7 and the question remains.

I have a dynamic IP address from ISP, but it remains as if it was static, what allows to work in XP and previous versions of Windows no longer works in Vista or 7. I talked to my ISP (3 times, 3 different Tech), they said that my IP is dynamic and confirmed he is not defined by them as static. They charge more for a static IP, it would just give me this free 'upgrade'. They had "no idea" how to force/change a new IP address in Vista or 7.

Please! Don't bother suggesting to run ipconfig/flushdns / release / renew at the prompt to as suggested by each internet search, this DOES NOT WORK. This was done with the prompt window of cmd under "Run As Administrator".

Please! Read everything I've done here before suggesting something, I have tried or have tested and proven to work/not work.

Here are other things that I've tried, WHO ALSO DO NOT WORK:

(NOTE: no router is used, directly connected, CAT5, NIC the modem PC broadband)
-Modem unplugged 72 hours left. No change
-A the ISP send me a new modem. No change
-Uninstalled NIC. No change
-Change IP4 settings to "Obtain automatically" to a forced IP made-up, rebooted, then changed back to auto. No change

So, with all this 'old school' stuff already tried and failed, that changed in Vista and 7 which seems to keep the same dynamic IP static? When Windows is put in cache or store this information, so I can delete it, none of the traditional methods of work. I absolutely can't stand having a static IP address on my computer at home.

If you search on the internet this exact question you will find what I have, everyone is suggesting to the methods of work time I tried already above, but people using Vista or 7 are several times to find it no longer works.

Here is some information, which confirms the IP address is not stored in my modem, or assigned to the MAC address of my NIC...

If I start this same PC with a LINUX Live CD, type using the same MAC address and the NIC, he gets another IP address whenever it restarts. The question clearly has nothing to do with my ISP, modem or PC in general.

If I get hot swap my modem to another PC, the other PC Gets a fresh (different) IP address. If this another PC using XP I can force the ipconfig/release / renew to change its IP address.

If the other PC running Vista, the IP address remains static, no matter what I try, unless the hard drive is wiped and Vista is re-installed, then he gets a new IP on the PC with the pure install, but it can not be changed after what is happening.

If clear, Windows Vista and Windows 7 have somewhere IP configuration information and re-use of this information when it detects that you are using the same internet provider, WHERE is it stored so I can delete it?

I thank you much if you have a working solution and actually know the answer, instead of reading everything that can already be found by a search engine and repost info which is no longer valid, as all the world on the internet is doing in trying to answer this question.

I think I found a solution. It has worked for me so I guess it could work for you.

1. find your IP address for example to go to a site such as http://www.whatismyip.com/ it will show you your IP address.
2 copy.
3. open network & sharing Center
4. open the network properties you what your IP to change. In my case, it's an EVDO modem.
5. on the network tab, double-click TCP/IPv4, which will open a window to change the IP and DNS IP address.
6. in this window click on "use following IP address" and paste this IP address you copied in step 2.
7 change the last digit of the IP address to any value above him for example if its 192.168.23.123 change the last digit to something like 122 so that the IP address becomes 192.168.23.122.
8. click on OK until that close all windows.
9 disconnect from this network.
10 reconnect to this network and if it goes as planned the ISP should force a dynamic IP address. Check http://www.whatismyip.com/ if it has changed. If you can not browse, go to step 6, and then select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and then disconnect-> reconnect to the network.
It worked for me so I don't know if it will work for you. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

  • How to change the ip address of the printer

    How can I change the ip address that windows searches for what concerns my printer wireless?

    My printer continues to change its ip address that is to say yesterday that the address is 192.168.0.2 and now it's 102.168.0.5, and whenever he does, windows does not include only and that he keeps trying to print address ip to wring the origin install me the printer as a new one from the new ip address give me two of the same printers when I watch devices and printers.
    I would like to know just how to change the ip address that is referenced to the printer rather than install them separately as a new printer.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I always prefer to set a static IP address for the network printers to avoid this kind of problem.   Depending on the brand of printer, this can be done by using the printers Panel (see networking options in the menus), or there may be a web interface, you can open in a browser.  Assigned address must be in the correct subnet but outside the DHCP in your router address.  Once assigned, specify this address in the settings of the printer on each workstation.
    You have not given any information re. the printer or your network and router model, so I can't be more specific than that, but it's the best general solution of this question.

  • HP laserjet professional P1606: how to change static ip address for HP laserjet professional P1606 dn

    Dear Sir.

    I have the professional printer hp (hp laserjet P1606) model, I have connected the printer to my router by ethernet port. Thus, he got a dynamic IP, that we know changes this dynamic IP most of the time and create problems. If I click on the ip address of the hp printer on the list of clients of wifi router. There is possibility to provide the static ip address for printer I did and gave a static ip address. a few days later the router has been restored and then I face the problem is I couldn't Ministry the ip address of the printer.   How can I access the ip address of the printer... because until the printer is not an IP and I click on the ip address and a printer page does not open I couldn't change the ip address or the type of static or dynamic ip... .the photos I have uplaoded...

    Hi @Tahir-Mehmood,.

    I would say to restore the printer back to factory settings. HP LaserJet Pro P1566 and P1606dn - default settings factory restore printers.

    Then, the router must assign a new IP address to the printer and you should then be able to again access the server built-in Web printer.

    If the router assigns the printer IP address automatically, temporarily connect the printer to the computer using the Ethernet cable and ad hoc of the printer. This will give you an IP address so you can access the printer built-in Web server, and then you can configure the IP address again through your network.

    I hope this helps. Thank you.
