Hello guys .. i am really new with autoit , i am trying to make scrip that changes the ip to an dynamic ip 

ShellExecute ("C:\Windows\System32\ncpa.cpl")
WinWaitActive("Network Connections")
Send("{home}{enter}")

Just use the Network UDF (see below), for example:

#RequireAdmin
#include "Network.au3"

_EnableDHCP("Ethernet")

Because you require #RequireAdmin at the top of your script

still not working with admin , but if  i run the script twice without closing the windows he opens  in first time  it works ..

Might be just my system then, basically each system is going to be different which is why send keys usually suck imho.  For example on my system I would have to use the following for it to work, maybe you just need to add WinWaitActive("Ethernet 2 Properties") like in the example below.

#RequireAdmin
ShellExecute ("C:\Windows\System32\ncpa.cpl")
WinWaitActive("Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network Connections")
Send("Ethernet{enter}")
WinWaitActive("Ethernet Status")
Send("{tab}{enter}")
WinActivate("Ethernet Properties")
WinWaitActive("Ethernet Properties")
send("{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}")
