ips

A simple CLI built in Rust for setting your static IP Address quickly without using a mouse.

What is ips doing?

ips is just running commands on your command line as an administrator to change your ip address. It will log out the commands it is executing or you can check exactly what it is doing by viewing the source code here https://github.com/ieedan/ips/blob/main/src/main.rs

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ips 192.168.1.100 # Your command
netsh interface ip set address name=Ethernet static 192.168.1.100 255.255.0.0 # Sets the IP Address and subnet
netsh interface set interface Ethernet admin=disable # Disables the interface so it will seamlessly accept the change
please wait for me to finish up t- 5s # Waits to be ready to enable
netsh interface set interface Ethernet admin=enable # Re-Enables the interface

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Using ips

Change your IP Address

Open a new command prompt or powershell and type in ips followed by the ip you want to set.

ips 192.168.1.100

You can set your subnet here as well by adding it as a second argument. If you choose not to add a subnet the default subnet is 255.255.0.0

ips 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0
