Simple static IP changer changes your LOCAL IP address NOT that assigned by your ISP.
The DNS changer program changes the DNS on selected adapter, NOT the router.
--- Quote from: Boggin on May 27, 2017, 08:41:52 am ---When assigning a static IP address in the computer, it's best to do it outside of the DHCP range as the router can still assign that IP address to another device and that would cause an IP address conflict where neither device would be able to connect.

"Under normal setups going through all the trouble is a waste of time.
Most routers start giving out IPs at .100 or .1 depending on the router. By always doing the higher end such as .200 or higher it is 99% safe to do. In 17 years of setting up networks I have never seen enough devices hooked up to a home router that I have ever seen the dhcp get past .200 on handing out IPs. That would be over 100 devices hooked up, home routers can only handle so many connections before you have to upgrade to a business grade router to handle so many connections.
While there is a small chance certain routers may be set to give IPs starting that high there is a 99% chance most routers don't. I have yet to run into a single IP conflicted using the higher ranges.
So save the user a unneeded step and just use the higher ranger of .200 and above.
Your choice :-)

I can only confirm what Shane has written, and his 2 programs that I have linked to are by far and away the easiest way to do both, ie set a static IP address on the local network and change DNS on network adapters.
Boggin:
I agree that DHCP usually uses the lower end but the way I've described it is the correct way and will avoid any possible conflicts.

Hi, Boggin, we can continue this interesting discussion.
Please say, solution to my post 22 in this thread. What is a domain name set with other machines. I never did anything like that. How to know, which domain i would have created without my knowledge. These technical terms really conveys too technical meanings, but i want a simple understanding of what is meant by domain. name. and other query in that post
Boggin:
It could be just how your computer configures it.
I believe you have other machines - can you do an ipconfig on those to compare ?
jraju:
After replying to you , i just looked at the network and it showed joined in the home group. I just went to computer properties and found that some shared folders . I enabled some videos from pc to laptop to play there . Only selected 10 videos are shard, but any how, to remove the hg, i just selected the home group and selectd leave the group, without knowing what it will do. It just makes the joined hg as ready to create.
But what is domain.name. I did find the computer name and domain name. The domain name is left blank and in the work group, there was workgroup written. May be i would have opted, when i tried to share some videos to laptop to play there. what should be the entry in domain name. There was blank and i give some name which my pc would not accept. it rejected with error message, that the said domain name cannot be created. What is the domain name , is it a auto fill item or we need to fill. What is the primary dns suffix pl. My nslookup google.com results in unknown server still
