Does anyone know how to change the IP Address on a 2000 or XP box through command prompt? We currently have a static IP and the properties is disabled through group policy. I would like to know if it can be changed from static to dhcp through the command prompt.
Much Appreciated.


If your employer uses static IPs, what would be the point of changing a workstation to DHCP? There'd have to be a DHCP server present, and there won't be if the LAN is based on static IPs. Consult your network administrator.
