You'll find it peppered throughout HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE
run regedit and do a find for your IP address
to find all of the instances. (Use ipconfig at the command prompt to find your current IP)

Thank you for your quick answer .However, I need to change the IP address of a m/c remotly ( i.e from the server or from another m/c .Is there a way to do that ?

Thank you

Try:
1. DHCP. Allow the client to get it?s IP address automatically and run the DHCP service to assign it one. You might also want to enter the client MAC address into the scope reservation to specifically assign that client a particular IP address.

2. SCRIPT. Use the ?netsh interface ip set address? command in a script or using a remote shell. Or just 'netsh' for an interactive session.

If all you want to know is the current IP address, then type "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt. I t will show you the addresses assigned to all adapters (both NIC and modem).
