Re: How can I change my IP address
 

The only thing I can think of which might work is

ipconfig /release

wait a while (the longer the better) and hope someone else picks up your old address, then

ipconfig /renew

(or reboot)

and the next question is why do you need to change it :erm: :)

Yes indeed - please bear in mind that whatever problem you are having with your current ip (blocked? DDOS attacks?) you could simply be transfering the problem to someone else.

Sorry I'm having trouble accessing web sites like this one, I have to delete my temp internet files so I can access.

IN which case the problem isnt your IP, but something on your PC

Done all that.

Changing your IP wont help, try (at the run prompt) putting ipconfig /flushdns, then reboot.

Try a different browser such as Firefox if you are using IE.

I am just down the road from you and if I have a problem accessing sites I switch to a specific proxy. I am currently using nott-cache-5.server.ntli.net which works OK for me.

If you did want to change IP then change your ethernet card for a different one or switch to USB (not really advised). This won't solve your browsing problems though.

Hi Ian and thanks, Ive changed my proxy many times since last week also I've unpluged my modem about a dozen times, I got in touch with Tech support in Wales last night, she said that I have a virus on my machine :erm: :erm: I've scanned it with AVG no virus, she then said Ive got spyware, did a scan for that, no spyware. I've only had this machine 2 weeks.

Ok. First of all you release the IP. Then go into control panel>network connections> then right click you network adaptor and go to propeties, then highlight Tcp ip and click propeties in that box.

Then put a fake IP address in that box and a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
then click ok and everything is done. Then go back in there again and click obtain ip address automatically. then when it renews this time you will have a new IP!!

Sometimes if it doesnt work, type renew in cmd.
