My computer is Windows 8. I used command line to set static IP address by
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Wired Ethernet Connection" source=static address=1.1.1.1 mask=1.1.1.1 gateway=1.1.1.1
And static DNS by
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name="Wired Ethernet Connection" address=1.1.1.1 index=1
Where 1.1.1.1 in both cases is just for demonstration and was replaced by my real IP.
Edit: As of 2018, 1.1.1.1
is used as a DNS server now.
I want to change from static IP to DHCP now.
I tried
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Wired Ethernet Connection" source=dhcp
for IP and
netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers name="Wired Ethernet Connection" source=dhcp
for DNS.
However, only the command for DNS worked.
I then checked with
ipconfig /all
It told me that DHCP was on for Ethernet. However, my previous IP was still there.
Is there any way to set from static to DHCP in command line?
