I think prophet got it there, you are getting the MAC and IP mixed up. A MAC address is like a serial number or a car's VIN number, it does not change. But the IP address will probably change, it is not 'rubber stamped' on anything, it is given to you by either your router or your ISP. Normaly your cannot change it, your isp has control over you ip address most of the time(unless you are on a router)Please i need to know how to change my computer%26039;s IP and not Network IP?
You would be wrong.



You can have a static IP address that you create (as part of a private network), but most of the time you're using DHCP which creates a new IP everytime you log into the network.



Don't confuse the IP address with th MAC address of your network interface card (NIC). The MAC address is fixed - every NIC card has a unique MAC address.Please i need to know how to change my computer%26039;s IP and not Network IP?
Your question makes no sense. It would help if you stated why you needed to change it and then maybe we could help.

If your computer is on a network that runs DHCP then you should not have to change the computer's ip. Sometimes though you will need to release and renew. Try this first - Go to Start-Run and type in CMD. In the command prompt type DHCP Release and wait a few seconds. Then type DHCP Renew. If you are not running DHCP or if this did not help your problem find My Network Places (either on desktop or in Start Menu) and right click on it and go to properties. Then find Local Area Connection (you may have more than one of these depending on your PC). It should say %26quot;Connected%26quot; underneath of it. If it does not say %26quot;Connected%26quot; then right click on it and choose repair and wait for that operation to complete... That may have fixed your problem. If it does say connected then right click on it and go to properties. Next double click on TCP/IP Settings and choose the Use The Following IP Address button. Type in the IP address you want to use. Hope this helps.Please i need to know how to change my computer%26039;s IP and not Network IP?
You cant really change your ( WAN IP) wide area network IP. Your ISP assigns it to you. There are 2 types,one is dynamic that is subject to change on cable or DSL but on dialup changes everytime you connect. The second is static , it never changes and is used for websites or servers. Is there a reason you want to change it. Is someone trying to attack your local network or something? You can take measures to keep people out other than changing your addyPlease i need to know how to change my computer%26039;s IP and not Network IP?
I am not sure what are you talking about of %26quot;computer's IP%26quot; and %26quot;Network IP%26quot;. I am guessing the %26quot;computer IP%26quot; you mentioned is internal IP and %26quot;Network IP%26quot; is public IP. If it is your case, in that situation of your being able to see two different IP in your computer (using ipconfig /all, i think) your computer may directly connect to the modem, not router and modem. In that case, the internal IP doesn't mean anything, and it won't change. The public IP is the IP you get from modem, it may change when you restart the modem.
