As far as I know, Virgin customers have Dynamic IPs that change every now and then, but I'm wondering if I can do it manually. Is it a case of ipconfig \release, ipconfig \renew, or do I need to unplug the modem for a while?
Thanks for any help.

You may just be passing the problem on to somebody else that might get your released IP..
If its a forum user an admin will be able to identify their IP address, if its via instant messaging a netstat command will probably identify the IP address they are using.
There are ways to get IP addresses, the net is not as safe and anonymous as people think.
I tend to route my email through google these days for news letters and stuff like that, if somebody wants to waste googles bandwith then as far as I am concerned they can feel free
