Is there anyway i can change my computer I.P.....

1. Control Panel
2. Network Connections
3. Select the NIC
4. Goto it's properties
5. Goto TCP/IP Properties
6. Set the numbers manually
 
Can i just change them to anyting i want?

My computer is networked with another so we both share the internet, will me changing the I.P effect this at all?
 
If you are changing the IP address of your computer within the LAN, then I don't think this will have any problem with the internet connection, as it's just a local address, problems arise with the internet if you try to change the IP address of the network card that is getting the main internet connection. If you are having a DSL modem, this one has an IP address, if you change this, don't expect the internet to work anymore :D

Bare in mind that this case is only valid with DSL connections with fixed IP address in which your DSL modem has a fixed IP address assigned to it by the ISP. If not, you will find that there is no IP address assigned to the DSL as far as I know.
