Hi !!
Ive been through the same issue till Ive sorted it out.
The guide is missing
some important steps:
At the end, when you want to switch back to the other IP:
1- go back to tcp ip, type the IP/Submask/Gateway info
2- leave the DNS fields EMPTY
3- press OK twice
(at this point if you ipconfig /all you'll see lots of missing info but the new IP should be there)
4- open the TCP/IP section again
5- switch to `Use Automatic IP address`
6- press OK twice
That's it!! now ipconfig /all will display complete information with the dns obtained automatically from isp (no need to input them manually).
Hope this helps!
