To obtain a new IP address from the Command Prompt in Windows, you can use the following methods:

Method 1: Renew IP Address

  1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:

    ipconfig /release

    This will release your current IP address.

  3. Type the following command and press Enter:

    ipconfig /renew

    This will obtain a new IP address from your DHCP server.

Method 2: Flush DNS Cache and Renew IP Address

  1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    This will flush your DNS cache.

  3. Type the following command and press Enter:

    ipconfig /renew

    This will obtain a new IP address from your DHCP server.

Method 3: Use the netsh Command

  1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet" dhcp

    Replace "Ethernet" with the name of your network interface (e.g. "Wi-Fi" or "Local Area Connection").

This will set your IP address to obtain an address automatically from your DHCP server.

Method 4: Use the netsh Command with a Specific IP Address

  1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet" static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0

This will set your IP address to the specified static IP address.
