Where is IP Address of my Ethernet settings stored in Registry
In a LAN, I configure my IP address as needed, but once in a while I move to a different subnet and need to update my IP address quickly so I am thinking of making a simple application to help me with this. Thus I would like to know where is the IP address settings stored in Registry?
In the old days of Win95 I could just search for the string, but now in Win10, the registry has become so huge it would probably take 8 days to end the search. Halp.
Solution 1:
The IP addresses of the various network interfaces are stored under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
but just changing a value there doesn't mean your active IP address changes.
Use existing Windows commands to change it, like:
Set-NetIPAddress
in PowerShell
