To switch to dhcp netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp To assign an ip address netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1 netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 4.2.2.1 For static the first set is your ip, then subnet mask then gateway then metric. I use 4.2.2.1 as it's a public dns server and easy to remember. I use the following batch files to accomplish this…
To switch to dhcp
netsh interface ip set address “Local Area Connection” dhcp
netsh interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” dhcp

To assign an ip address
netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1
netsh interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” static 4.2.2.1

For static the first set is your ip, then subnet mask then gateway then metric. I use 4.2.2.1 as it’s a public dns server and easy to remember.
