How to change my IP easily

 If, like me, you receive your IP address automatically from a DHCP server and you need to renew it, this tip is what you need.


This tip comes from the hand of slice of linux and all we need to do is open the terminal and type:

sudo dhclient -r
You can also renew the IP address by requesting a new one from the DHCP server. To achieve this, you just have to go back to the console and type:
sudo dhclient eth0
… Assuming eth0 is your Ethernet interface. If it's your default network card, you can omit this argument, and if you want to renew the IP of the network card, you could write something like this:
sudo dhclient wlan0
