Why do you need to change IP address ?

In case you are connected your IP address change will actually release all the connections. Does it makes any sense ?

Anyway to do this you can use Registry hacks :

Or you might also take a look into Configuring TCP/IP Settings using WMI and C#[^]

I hope this will help you.

Which one?
Your PC IP address? AFAIK you can't do it in a flexible manner, you have to talk to your router (or other DCHP server) and there is no standard way of doing that I am aware of.

Your internet IP address? Depends: if it is a static IP than you can't. If it is dynamic then the easiest way is reset the router, and hope your ISP issues you a new address. Make sure you are the only user though as you would annoy the crap out of me if you did that while I was busy...

Why do you want to?
