Problem changing ip on windows 7

[tauro91]

Im trying to change my IP on windows 7. ive done it thousand times on XP. i have comcast connecting directly, no router,, etc...

WEll when i type ipconfig /release it says the system wont detect the file.. even if i run it as Admin, idk whats going on , can anyone plz help me?

ipconfig /release won’t change the IP, it merely releases the current IP assignment.

ipconfig /renew *might* change the IP, but it really depends on the ISP.

tried both, none work "/ . is there even a way to change ip? i mean on XP ive changed thousand times same ISP still.. ip renew wont work either,

Sure, I can use either on Win7 here, no problem. What does ipconfig /? return? Or even just ipconfig? Do you see your TCP/IP configuration?
