The dhcp ip range is 192.168.0.255/24. I wanted my computer to get multiple ip addresses from this dhcp. So I can have multiple connections through different ip addresses with just a single computer!
is there anyway to do that?
Edit1:
In Windows or Unix, doesn't matter!
Suppose that I want to download a file. The very simple thing that a downloader does is to split the file to some parts and download them simultaneously! so that it should connect to the file server through many connections (1 connection for each part). Here, I want the downloader to establish each connection with a different IP address!
Actually, the server has limited the download speed for IP addresses. So, this way I will bypass this download limit!

Giving yourself multiple IP addresses on your local network won't do anything to get around a download limit.
Your addresses are in the
192.168.0.0/16range. This range consists of private IP addresses, which have no meaning outside your LAN. Your router uses a system called Network Address Translation (NAT) to let every device on your home network use the same public IP. The reason for this is that there are fewer IPv4 addresses than are needed, and this system allows a house to share a single address.Because your router is using NAT, the download server doesn't see your private IP. As far as it's concerned, any device in your house uses the same IP, so it will consider them to be the same device.
The only real solution would be to buy additional public IPs. However, this isn't something you're likely to find on a consumer internet connection. Generally, only servers need public IPs, so you'd likely find them only on a business-grade connection.
Summary: While you can give yourself multiple IPs (statically, if necessary), it won't help with your actual problem.
