Changing IP Address Programmatically

Hi,

I would like to make a program that would change my IP address by just clicking a button.

I'm not asking to make a program, but can you give me at least a link to a tutorial on how to do it.

I've done some googling but most I found are not to my liking.

regards,
jaro

p.s. sorry if my english is bad it is not my 1st language.

The board would need to know you OS in order to give any specific input...

Further, why? I find issues to arise whenever mine changes...
Furthermore, since my IP is allocated from DHCP, and my router chooses the lowest available, I'm likely to get exactly the same one. (I have no idea if I can force a change...)
You could statically assign yourself one, but that sort of defeats the point of "static" IP...
And if you're behind a router, you face the issue that your computers IP != the IP that the Internet sees.

On my Win98 box, I can:

Code:

---

ipconfig /release_all
ipconfig /renew_all

---

But that gets me the same IP. (Gotta love my router...) (Unless someone else takes it between the two commands.)

my OS is WinXp
the reason for changing IP is for me to connect to module/rack that I'm using for my school.
I guess I'm just tired of clicking in changing IP address manually.

thanks for the quick reply.

Look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394595.aspx

Using WMI you can perform it in a simple script (look at the Use the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class and the EnableStatic method.)
