Elaborate on why and the complete scenario. It would help. (Update your question.)

The WMI way: Configuring TCP/IP Settings using WMI and C#[^].

Using netsh: http://www.csharptutors.com/?p=22[^]. This link may be useful for calling the command line:

Note: Changing the IP address may have security restrictions.

Solution 1

Why? and what have you tried? A simple batch file using the ipconfig and it's associated switches would do the trick. You will need to expand your question for us to understand better what you are trying to accomplish.

Ipconfig can't be used to change the IP address.

I realize he wants something else, but I'm trying to get him to provide more information in his question.

He wants to change the IP address. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

Solution 3

If your IP is assigned dynamically, you could run the following utility with the specified commandline via a Process object:

ipconfig.exe /renew

If you DON'T have a dynamic IP, you have to use one of the other methods already described.
