How to Change Ip ADDRESS??!?!?

i have tried several things that havent work

ipconfig/release

ipconfig/renew



i have done ipconfig/release then went to Internet Protocal changed the ip. then search for Ip automatically after changing it and that didnt work. My ip doesnt change every time i connect so im assuming its static.

i tried unplugging everything from modem for 3 hours and that didnt work.

im planning on turning it off over night (8-10) hours does any1 have a different method?How to Change Ip ADDRESS??!?!?
Try leaving it off for at least 24 hours. The server/router will lease an IP address to your computer's MAC address for a certain amount of time, but it usually isn't more than 24 hours.How to Change Ip ADDRESS??!?!?
you're wanting a different IP from your router or from your ISP? If from your ISP (and it's not static) then 8 hours of disconnect might do the trick. If you want a different one from your router, then you'll need a different computer to grab that IP address, then boot up your normal box to grab the next one.
Make sure you know what you're doing. Are you looking to change your computer's internal IP address, or its external IP?



Here's something to try. Go to Network Connections and select your main connection and go to Properties. There should be a list of things in the window, so go to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). From there, you can change your computer's internal IP. Hope that helps.
There are two kinds of IPs - inside IP and outside IP.



Inside IP is what your computer gets from the router (usually 192.168.x.x). Outside IP is what the internet sees (go to http://www.whatismyip.com to see it)



You can change your inside IP with ipconfig /release %26amp; ipconfig /renew but it usually re-assigns the same IP unless you unplug the router inbetween the steps.



The outside IP is controlled by your ISP. It may change several times a day...or never.







I'm assuming you want to change the outside IP - unless you're paying extra for static IP, it's probably dynamic. I know with my ISP (Cox) you have to leave the modem unplugged from power for MORE THAN 24 hours for it to get a new IP. Otherwise, call your ISP and ask how long you need to unplug it to get a new IP (this is the amount of time needed for the DHCP lease to expire).



If you're needing a static IP, look for a Dynamic DNS sercive like dyndns so you can use a hostname to access your home computer nomater how often the IP changes..
