Hi , I just joined and not sure if this is the right section to post this question , but I've tried going through the steps listed when going into a yahoo search and even unplugged the plugs from the modem and turned it off for 8 hours and still no luck getting a new IP . I appreciate any advice from someone who did this .
tried portforward.com ? you should know the pw and username to your router/modem before starting, and maybe make record of settings encase it doesn't work and you know what to enter back in. goodluck
What is your setup? Are you a wired desktop or wireless laptop? What exactly are you trying to do that needs an IP change?
Good point, making a static Ip through port forwarding http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm Might not be the best solution overall. If not, could just ask your ISP to change it?
The address you get from your ISP is totally different than the one your machine gets in a home network when using a wireless router for example. If the original poster would respond, I'm sure this can be resolved easily.
I'm wired to a desktop . I'm banned from a couple sites and want to join again and these administrators are very good at tapping your IP . I will check out that website the other member put up in a few days .
That website only helps make your INTERNAL address static, it does nothing to help with what you are asking. Even if you get your ISP to change your address i think you may still need to spoof your MAC address since you are banned.
Can you explain how to do this ? I had a co- worker tell me our Internet provider determines our IP address and I can't just change over right away if that's the case .
Co-worker is right. Whoever you receive your internetz connectivity from gives you 1 address (EXTERNAL) for the wire they plug into your house. Inside the house, when you add a home router/wireless the address is chopped into a few different pieces (INTERNAL) so no matter how many machines you have in your house the data still goes through the EXTERNAL address they give you.
