Set A Static Ip Address

At a command prompt, type the following:

netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

Make a note of the number shown in the Idx column of the output for your network adapter. If your computer has more than one network adapter, make a note of the number corresponding to the network adapter for which you wish to set a static IP address.

At the command prompt, type:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”” source=static address= mask= gateway=

Where:

ID is the number from step 2 above

StaticIP is the static IP address that you are setting

SubnetMask is the subnet mask for the IP address

DefaultGateway is the default gateway

At the command prompt, type:

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=”” address=index=1

Where:

ID is the number from step 2 above

DNSIP is the IP address of your DNS server

Repeat step 4 for each DNS server that you want to set, incrementing the index= number each time.
