IP address

is there a way i can change my IP address, with out haven to move.

 

1) check your current ip address at http://www.whatismyip.com/

2) unplug your cable from the wall for a few minutes. then plug it in again. you will automatically get a new ip address. make sure you're unplugging it from the wall. unplugging the connection to your router won't do anything.

3) check your ip address again. if it's different, then you didn't stay unplugged long enough. retry. you shouldn't need to stay unplugged for more than 10 minutes.

 

change to a new ISP

 

:eek: thanks

 

Try Hide IP NG

 

Edit: For #3, I meant to say

"if it's the same, then you didn't stay unplugged long enough."

 

when you have a fix IP adress like me, you cant change it

 

sometimes even this isn't enough to get a new ip address. we've had the same address with comcast cable internet for close to 2 years now.

 

again: there are 2 poss:
a) fix IP
b) variable IP

a) your IP will be the same a lifetime
b) your IP changes everytime yourequest a new one


check what your ISP gives you ...

 

Same here. IP addresses assigned by comcast are effectively fixed even though technically they're DHCP.

You can prolly call their tech support line and get them to change it. Not sure why you'd want to, though.
