How can I change my ip address


How to set the IP address?
Setting up the IP address in computer is an easy task.  The IP address consists of 4 octets and is in the decimal form.  The computer reads the IP address in the binary form, but the humans write it in the decimal format.  Without setting up the IP address, you will not be able to connect the internet and browse websites.  The IP address numbers are between 0 and 255 and for example it appears as 1.1.235.235.  Now let us find out how to set up your IP address in your computer.
1]     Click the start button in your computer.  In the start button click the control panel and open the control panel window.
2]     The control panel window contains lots of icons.  Choose network connections icon and click it.
3]     Now the network connections window opens and you will find the LAN and other network connections.
4]     Select the local area network connection and choose properties by right clicking the mouse.
5]     In the properties, select “general”.  In the “general” you will find “internet protocol (TCP/IP)” under the heading “this connection uses the following items”.
6]     Select Internet Protocol and click properties button.
7]     Provide IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (the 4 octet number provided by your service provider).
