Begs the question of why but there are ways depending on how you currently connect. Are you connecting via USB or ethernet and do you use a router?

can u explain this in the right order please.

Go into device manager and then the properties of the network card. In the "advanced" section there is an option to change the network address/ physical address/ mac address. Check the current mac address using ipconfig /all from a command prompt and then increase the mac address by one digit. Reboot everything and you should have a new ip

Well a sensible question would be "why do you need to change it" ?

First reply ;) lol

I thought I'd ask it again to reiterate since the OP doesn't seem to know much else about the workings of TCP/IP apart from the fact he/she needs to change the address for some reason.

Depending on how subscribed you area is, 9 times out of 10 your modem will just pick your existing IP again.

Well I want to change my IP address because of some website its called 'Rapidshare' its a file hosting site and Well Before I used to be able to use it But all of a Sudden My IP autmatically changed and Now I cant use It.....And I Really Need to change my IP...So I Can Use it again.

Can you please help me

Re: Change My Telewest Broadband IP Address
 

Rapidshare is a pain in the behind for actually picking up proxy IP addresses etc. Do you upload to rapidshare or download?

Re: Change My Telewest Broadband IP Address
 

Do Telewest use Transparent Cache, same as NTL?

Was my first thought too but I'm not sure these days, either way if she wants to get her original IP address I think she is hoping ;)
