I've got a dynamic IP address, infact I can change it from my router page (http://192.168.1.1) clicking on release and then renew.
I could made the http request by curl to the http://192.168.1.1 page but this solve the problem only on my computers that use that router.
So I'm interested to know if is there a way to update my IP by c++ without passing through the router page (192.168.1.1).
I've tried also from command line without positive result. The code I've tried is the following:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
I've also tried this code:

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#endif
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iphlpapi.h>

#define FREE(x) HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, (x))
// Before calling IpReleaseAddress and IpRenewAddress we use
// GetInterfaceInfo to retrieve a handle to the adapter
void __cdecl main()
{
ULONG ulOutBufLen = 0;
DWORD dwRetVal = 0;
PIP_INTERFACE_INFO pInfo;
pInfo = (IP_INTERFACE_INFO *)MALLOC(sizeof(IP_INTERFACE_INFO));
// Make an initial call to GetInterfaceInfo to get
// the necessary size into the ulOutBufLen variable
if (GetInterfaceInfo(pInfo, &ulOutBufLen) == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) {
FREE(pInfo);
pInfo = (IP_INTERFACE_INFO *)MALLOC(ulOutBufLen);
}
// Make a second call to GetInterfaceInfo to get the
// actual data we want
if ((dwRetVal = GetInterfaceInfo(pInfo, &ulOutBufLen)) == NO_ERROR) {
printf("\tAdapter Name: %ws\n", pInfo->Adapter[0].Name);
printf("\tAdapter Index: %ld\n", pInfo->Adapter[0].Index);
printf("\tNum Adapters: %ld\n", pInfo->NumAdapters);
}
else if (dwRetVal == ERROR_NO_DATA) {
printf("There are no network adapters with IPv4 enabled on the local system\n");
return;
}
else {
LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
printf("GetInterfaceInfo failed.\n");

}
LocalFree(lpMsgBuf);
return;
}
// Call IpReleaseAddress and IpRenewAddress to release and renew
// the IP address on the first network adapter returned
// by the call to GetInterfaceInfo.
if ((dwRetVal = IpReleaseAddress(&pInfo->Adapter[0])) == NO_ERROR) {

}
else {
printf("IP release failed: %ld\n", dwRetVal);
}

}
// Free memory for IP_INTERFACE_INFO
if (pInfo != NULL) {
FREE(pInfo);
}
std::cout << ("\n Processo terminato\n");
std::system("PAUSE");
return;
}
I've DHCP Server enabled whit these values: DHCP Service State DHCP State: Enabled IP iniziale DHCP: 192.168.1.2 IP finale DHCP (Riservato per uso interno): 192.168.1.254
I need run my program on windows XP and Windows 7 platform.
Thank's for your help
