i need to chang my ip... how can i ?
Depends on what operating system you are running. It also depends on what kind of network you are connected to. If your network requires DHCP or Bootp (a.k.a. bootstrapping) then you will not be able to change your IP.
Also, some cable/DSL and dialup services provide dynamic addressing instead of static addressing.
Post back with more info and maybe you'll get the help you need.

If your ip is dynamic ie, asigned by your isp every time you connect to the internet. Just sign off then back on again, your ip will have changed.
If your isp has given you a static ip. Get intouch with them and ask for another.
If you have cable you can also powercycle your modem.. this almost always changes your IP.
or go to command promot an type in
ipconfig /renew
"If your network requires DHCP or Bootp (a.k.a. bootstrapping) then you will not be able to change your IP."
so very wrong
If you change your nic or mac address (buy a new ethernet card or google "spoof mac" ) you will possibly get a new ip addy (always works for me). None of the methods posted by others above work for my cable service. But your milage may vary.
Or....use a proxy...easiest way,switch isp's lol.why do you 'need' to change it anyway?
Im trying to think of reasons why one NEEDS to change a publically issed IP address...
hmmmmmmmmmm
......
So who did you piss off/what did you do that was illegal?

I have a quick question...I have cable internet ,(ip hasnt changed in a year)and i have a 4 port router(network everywhere/linksys off brand) anyways i wondered if i unpluged my cable modem and my router for say 8-10 hrs...overnight ,wouldnt i get a new ip assigned to me?
Maybe this is what The Grunt was refering to?

Thanks in advance.
Hi
Generally you end up with the same IP.......Ipconfig renew/release will work occasionally, but you generally end up with the same IPQuote:
killing power to your cable modem for several hours and allowing the DHCP lease time to expire,Wll definately Give you a better chance of getting a different IP......Quote:

Usually, unless you specified that you wanted a static IP when you got you cable account you are most likely using a dynamic connection. If so doing as the others have suggested (ie. power cycle the comp and the router) you should be able to change your IP.

I don't think that dynamic IP is everytime you connect because I have dynamic IP address and mine expires every so often but not everytime I connect..
This really depends on how your cable service runs there dynamic IP's... My town has 3 different cable providers for internet, and they ALL do their dynamic IP's different.Quote:

Atticus, yea that is basically what I meant. Like above, it all depends on your cable service. The one my friend has (charter) says to take the power out for 2 minutes. You get a new IP anytime you do that. Call the tech support for your cable company, they may be incompetent but they can tell you how to powercycle your modem because that is the main way they deal with problems (at least in my experience helping people get their cable working correctly).
typically when you type ipconfig /renew you are only renewing the lease that you have on the current ip address, what you want to do first is ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew. this makes it so that you release your IP address lease so someone else can take it, and then you are going to aquire a new lease with the dhcp server. however, if you do an ipconfig /release, and then turn off your modem for the night, when you turn it back on in the morning you are almost gaurenteed to have a new IP address (provided that your ISP is not giving out static IP's when you first sign up for their service)Quote:
It'll depend on the ISP Raion,the type of subnetting they use,the actual number of subnets and the users online at any given point of time
my isp will throw your ip back into reserve and usu issue you another one if your cable modem is disconnected for 30 minutes.
i know my isp changes my ip almost every 3 days... which is annoying for my server ;) so i got one of those dyns dns names and linked it into my router... but neway, i think it depends mostly on whether or not you are in an urban or rural area
call your cable provider and ask them to reset it 4 u. they have the means to reset it at there office
Raion - What I mean by a dynamic ip is that it has the possibility of being changed everytime your reboot. It may not always change your IP but they can if they want to.Quote:
