How do I change my IPv4 address?
I've gone to Network Settings and tried the Automatically option but that doesn't work. I've seen a few tutorials on how to change it manually but I'm not certain about how to do that, especially what number to type in.
I've also tried ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew but that failed.
As to one tutorial: Use ipconfig /release then go to network settings to change your IPv4. In "Use the following Ip address" type a series of 1s, tab to get a Subnet mask and click OK. Go back to Ipv4 properties and this time choose Obtain an IP address automatically, click OK. Seemed Ok but thought I'd ask here cause I don;t want to mess things up.
Btw, I called my online provider and they didn't know how to do it, or the two guys I spoke to didn't.
Thanks.
