RE: Changing IP address as standard user

["Jim McBurnett" <jim () tgasolutions com>]

Try this:

netsh interface ip set address "Local area connection 3" static
172.31.49.27 255.255.255.0 172.31.49.241 1 

I think it might work as an standard user..
IF not...
Then give a batch file run as admin rights..
