You may want to check your IP address again to make sure it has changed.
If you aren’t an administrator on your current computer, you won’t have this option and thus won’t be able to renew your computer’s IP address.
IP address - Usually, your device’s IP address will be “192. 168. 1. X” (or a similar set of numbers), wherein “X” is specific to your device. Change the “X” value to a number between 1 and 100. Make sure you don’t use the same IP address as another device on your network (e. g. , your phone). Subnet prefix length - This depends on your IP address, but will usually be “255. 255. 255. X”. Gateway - This is your router’s IP address. Preferred DNS - Your preferred DNS address (for example: “208. 67. 222. 222” for the OpenDNS server, or “8. 8. 8. 8” for Google’s server). Alternate DNS - A secondary DNS address (for example: “208. 67. 220. 220” for the OpenDNS server, or “8. 8. 4. 4” for Google’s server).
