Well an even easier way to change your ip, without the unplugging hassle, is to repair your connection. To do this, go to your network connections, which can be found by going to the control panel. Once you find the connection you access your internet on click it, and a window comes up saying "local area connection status" there are two tabs, one is general, one is support. Click the support tab and go to the bottom where it says repair and click it, It changes your ip address, along with a few other things, and then your good to go 8) +rep would be nice
it only works the first time i use it, after that it only clears dns cache or whatever, and doesnt change my ip address anymore. you can also do this by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting repair
This doesnt work if youre on the receiving end of a wireless connection..Or if your provider only gives you a static IP. (Comcast would be one of the evil ones) <-I use them :cry:
'receiving end of a wireless connection'? what does that mean? mine isnt wireless, and its a dynamic ip :?
It means if you have a wireless modem on one computer and on your computer you have a router that receives the signal from the other computer's router. You get a static IP :cry:
