ipconfig / all
in the "Open" field and confirm the execution of the command by pressing the OK button.

Select the "Properties" item again and enter the values of the previously saved connection parameters in the corresponding fields of the new dialog box.
Step 8
Confirm the execution of the command by clicking OK and restart the computer to apply the selected changes.
Step 9
Use the free No-IP service to perform an alternative operation of changing a dynamic IP address to a permanent one and select the No-IP Free option.
Step 10

Step 14
Specify the created host and make sure to automatically convert the IP address to domain name every 5 seconds to create a permanent address.
