Power off the modem. Go to the driver settings for your network card or port (control panel, device settings in Vista/Win7) and there should be a setting for 'mac code' or 'network address' or some such (probably dissabled). Assuming you have no other network device attached, you can set this to anything you like (I forget how many figures it needs, just google for an example of a mac code). Now, power up your modem again and it will give you a new IP. This is a warning, GET A FIREWALL ROUTER.
