I want to introduce to you a very usefull but rare used DOS command: netsh /net shell./
It is used to view your TCP/IP settings or Configure interfaces.
Go to DOS command prompt window: Start button –> Run –> type ‘cmd‘ and press OK.
In DOS, type the following: netsh interface ip show config and press Enter.
You wil see info about your network interface /Local area connection/ and your IP.
netsh shell
Netsh command can be used to configure your network adapter /NIC/ automatically obtain IP address from DHCP server:

Also you can set the NIC dynamically obtain DNS settings:
netsh interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” dhcp
