To try and force an ip change, it's important to release the existing one first.

In Windows, open a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd)
Type
ipconfig /release
press enter

Then shut the machine down and switch the set top box off.

Best to wait 24 hours (48 would be even better if you can)

Reboot everything, then get a command prompt up again and type:
ipconfig /renew

If that doesn't get a new IP then it's unlikely that you'll be able to change it.
