    Router Question.

    Is there a way to change your routers ip? It's weird (to me), I know my ISP provides me with a dynamic ip, but my routers ip fails to change. Can anyone explain that? My "true" ip changes frequently, because every couple of weeks I disconnect my router and flush the dns and all that and I can see that it has changed. However, my routers ip stays the same even while my real ip address is changing.

    I have heard some people say you can unplug your router and wait for your dns lease to expire and that will possibly change it. I tried that and it didn't work (if that’s even true). Any tips or tricks that I can try to force a change here, or is this not possible from my end?

    Most home broadband routers can be set for a dynamnic IP. If you are on DSL, it should probably be set to use PPPoE, otherwise it should probably be on a simple dynamic address setting. Sounds like you have your router set to a static address. Did you RTFM? There might be something in there on that.

    /edit
    Your owner's manual can be found at ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/befsx41ug.pdf

    It has instructions for dynamic IP addressing. Look them up under "obtain an IP address automatically"

    The manual for this router is located here ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/befsr11_befsr41ug.pdf

    What you want is on page 46 of this manual

    Not from what I'm seeing. If I'm correct the linksys manual only shows you how to change the internal ip addresses. The 192.168.x.x's

    I'm sorry cytex, but I don't know what you're seeing. I don't see anywhere where it shows users how to change the external ip address of my linksys.
