  Release IP : start -> run -> Cmd -> ipconfig/release(adapter name)-> Enter
  
  Renew IP: start->run->cmd->ipconfig/renew(adaptername)-> Enter

  Static or non static?
  
  Static
  
  1. Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
  
  2. Right click on your connection and select Properties
  
  3. Select General tab
  
  4. Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
  
  5. Select General tab
  
  6. Use this option - Use the following IP address. Enter the IP address that you want within your router range. Say you set it from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.20
  
  Anything between 10 to 20 is OK
  
  7. Click OK to apply the settings
  
  If non-static
  
  1. Open Command Prompt
  
  2. Type in the following line by line, press Enter after each line
  
  ipconfig /release
  ipconfig /renew
  ipconfig /flushdns
  exit

  To me, the simplest and fastest way is to just unplug and replug the wire connecting the router to the cable lines.

  Some do it for privacy... some people will do it to bypass some things...
  
  I couldn't see any reason for anyone to change a private IP address... it's the public IP address that some are concerned about.

  6. Use this option - Use the following IP address. Enter the IP address that you want within your router range. Say you set it from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.20
  
  what do i put in for the DNS servers and stufF?

  For static internal IPs, the average home user should leave the DNS blank. Gateway would be the IP address of your router. If you have subnetting enabled, make sure all your computers are in the _SAME_ subnet or you'll not be getting any connectivity between them. If you don't know what subnetting is, ignore the stuff above which talks about it.
