Change ip

[karthickips]

What do you mean from a limited account? If you network connection says limited or no connectivity, you have another problem other than changing your IP. if you are on an incorrect network with your current IP then changing it will help but other than that changing it won't help. Do you use a router? what kind? wireless or wired? need more info.

For what reason do you need to change an IP on a limited account?

I think the question that needs to be answered first is:
Is the connection limited as 'thecoldone06' stated, or is the person really using a true 'user' account and not an admin account?

If the LAN connection is saying "limited or no connectivity", then yes the person has a bigger issue than changing the IP, althought changing the IP may resolve the 'limited or no connectivity' error (how ironic). Secondly, if the user is a "user" and not an "admin", then no I don't believe a user account has the proper privileges to change network settings.

Make sense anyone?

makes perfect sense to me but until he answers back we'll never know!

If it is DHCP, then it is simple, unplug the network cable, wait a few seconds then plug it back in. If it is not DCHP then it gets a bit tougher.
