You might try netsh from a command prompt;

1 to set ip address and subnet, 2 to clear previous dns server ip's, 3 to
set primary dns server, 4 to set alt dns server, 5 to set ip address DHCP
assigned

1.) netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection 2"
source=static addr=192.168.10.10 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=none
2.) netsh interface ip delete dns name="Local Area Connection 2" addr=all
3.) netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection 2" source=static
addr=192.168.20.20
4.) netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection 2"
addr=192.168.30.30
5.) netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection 2"
source=dhcp

Where "Local Area Connection 2" is the name of your connection. (watch for
line wrap)

What is the explorer error/error code? It will help us narrow down the
problem

That may work to change it, but it won't stop the explorer error, would it?

It doesnt give an error code, just that explorer has caused an error and
will be restarted. I went into admin tools and event viewer to see what log
was made and it says "the shell ended unexpectedly and explorer was
restarted".


hope that sort of helps, if there are other logs i can seem to find them.
