oi, these people are morons

call your isp, get on the phone with low level tech, ask them if you can manually change your ip, if not, request they change it



edit: to the guy under me, that is true but with cable, most of the time people dont got dynamic ips sadly(hence why i prefer dsl, its safer) cable companies like to asign static ips for some reason, but hey, if he DOES have a dynamic ip, that'd make stuff ALOT easier(i have to cycle my ip fairly offen due to uh... annoyances on the net)Change IP! Step-By-Step?
You can't change it. Your IP address is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP). You can ask them to change it, but it's assigned dynamically in most cases and might roll over at any time when the lease is expired (every N days).
Your public IP address is assigned by your isp from dhcp. Any attempt to change it will lose your connection and gives your ISP the right to terminate your service without notice.
OK..actually its easy..yes, its true your internet provider gives you the IP address, but usually its a dynamic address, which means if you disconnect from them for a while they will assign a new address when you reconnect, SO, to change the IP address DISCONNECT the Cable modem (unplug it from the power) and leave it disconnected for 5 minutes. When you plug it back in you should have a new IP address..
