Changing my IP address

tomCollins · 03-11-2003, 10:47 PM

Hello all...

I am writing a small program in java and I would like to change my IP address using either something native to the language or command line arguments. Can anyone point me in the right direction for either method?

i'm almost certain you can't change it with java, however you can request a new one using the dos command "ipconfig /renew"...

using:

Code:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd.exe \C inpconfig /renew");

if you know how to change it using c then you can use JNI to do it..

Sure, but that's assuming I'll get a new one from a DHCP server. I want to change it to one that I can specify.

the first addie will show you how to subnet and cloak your ip so u can still use the current assighned ip then subnet it with an acceptable "offline" ip addie over all VERY not worth it.http://www2.rad.com/networks/1994/ip_addr/tcpip2.htm#doc3 http://www.arin.net
