How to Add IP Addresses to Windows Server

Using netsh command.

The command prompt method is fastest and we suggest it first. To add IP addresses to a Windows VPS or Windows Server, first open Command Prompt at Start > Run > cmd.

Enter the command for each new IP address to add to the system:

netsh interface ipv4 add address “Local Area Connection” 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 

Change “192.168.1.2” to your additional IP. The subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0 – Please contact us for confirmation of netmask before doing this.
