How to Change the IP Address of a PC
As we all know, when setting up a new PC, or connecting to a new network, we have to change the IP address of the network adapter (usually, the network card) in order to access our online resources and services. This can be done by editing the Windows hosts file.
As a result, when a user has to switch between network domains, or between IP addresses, they usually have to do this manually, which requires several steps, and it is time consuming.
The way we can save time is by using an add-on called "HostAdmin". It allows us to modify the Windows hosts file automatically whenever we change our IP address. It is a Firefox Addon, but it can work on many browsers.
There are two versions of the add-on: one is for the Mozilla Firefox browser, and the other one is for the Chrome browser.
What is a "host" file?
The hosts file is a file that is usually located in the root directory of the user's computer. It is used to list the Internet domains and IP addresses of the computers on the network. In this way, you can access your files and websites through the Internet.
