A batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter.

If you want a series of command to be executed because you are tired of typing every command over and over again then you should create a batch file.

When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually

command.com

or

cmd.exe

) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line.

Too much words lets proceed on why you have to use a batch file in changing the ip when you can do it by just clicking using your mouse.

I have this situation where i have to connection. One is for the internet and one is for another and i only have one computer and one cable or UTP wire so i have to change everytime i want to use one of it. Heres the code on how to change the IP address so that you will just click on the batch file and tadah.... Your IP will change in just a second.

Just copy the codes below and paste it in "notepad" and in saving it put a double quote on the filename. Example: "Change IP.bat".

Because if you if you don't put a double quote in the filename then notepad will save it as "Change IP.bat.txt"

Double click the batchfile to execute.

@ECHO OFF
set varip=192.168.1.68
set varsm=255.255.255.0
set vargw=192.168.1.1
set vardns1=192.168.1.1
set vardns2=192.168.1.1
set varhome=www.google.com

ECHO Setting IP Address and Subnet Mask
netsh int ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = %varip% mask
= %varsm%

ECHO Setting Gateway
netsh int ip set address name = "Local Area Connection" gateway = %vargw% gwmetric = 1

ECHO Setting Primary DNS
netsh int ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = %vardns1%

ECHO Setting Secondary DNS
netsh int ip add dns name = "Local Area Connection" addr = %vardns2%

ECHO Setting Internet Explorer Homepage to %varhome%
reg add "hkcusoftwaremicrosoftinternet explorermain" /v "Start Page" /d "%varhome%" /f

Change the values of the variables to your desired IP.
Try to see the IP configuration in windows and you will see the corresponding values.
