thanks ^_^How can I change my IP Address?
Hold the windows key and press r

type cmd and press enter

type ipconfig /all

write down the ipv4 address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the dns server addresses.

close the command prompt

Click Start

Right Click Network

Click properties

Under network, across from connection, click View Status

Click Properties

In the list, Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Click Properties

Make sure ';Use the following IP address'; is checked

Input the ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway that you wrote down, but change the last 1 or 2 digits of the ip address to something different.

Click Ok and close everything that you opened



If you are unable to connect to the internet, go back to where you inputted those numbers, but this time, check ';use the following DNS server addresses';

input the DNS addresses you wrote down. If there was only one, enter it into both fields.



If you still cannot connect to the internet, go back into where you inputted the numbers, and check the boxes to obtain everything automatically.



If you're inexperienced with computers you might have trouble with this, but if you really have a good enough reason to do it, go ahead and try at your own risk. Good luck!How can I change my IP Address?
This depends on several factors. First of all, it depends if your ISP is giving you a static, or dynamic IP. If it is static, it stays the same and you might have to contact them about getting another one. However, this is unlikely. Most IP addresses are dynamic, meaning they change. How often depends on the IP lease time. Sometimes you can get your IP to change by resetting your modem, or my releasing and renewing your IP, but other times the ISP will change it when they change it.



If you are behind a router, don't mistake your local IP address for your actual internet IP. With a router, one IP is used to communicate with the internet, and packets are sent to each of the computer attached to the router, as needed. IP addresses that begin with 192.168 are only for communication between you and the local network in your house (everything attached to the router). Changing this IP will not change your true IP (what your computer is identified as over the internet, not your local network)
The easiest way is to change it behind proxy server. Only what you need is free proxy server or program that will hide IP address for you like TOR or JAP.



You can find a lot tutorials and programs on http://www.proxyblind.org that will help you to change and hide your IP address.
If you have a static IP address then you have to ask your ISP to change the IP. If you have a dynamic IP that you can use a proxy to change it every time you want. You can read more here: http://www.allanonymity.com/2009/05/08/d
they are assigned by you ISP,, however you can use this if the ISP will not change it for you. http://www.hidemyass.com/
