Hello Folks

Not too sure if this is the place to put this thread (i am sorry if it is!) Now i've got a little problem with my ip address and i am wondering if someone can help me out.

For some reason it seems that website that i go onto (A popular webcasting site) has put enforced an ip block on me and i am trying to change my ip number because of this so i can fully access the site again.

Now in my current set up i have a PC wired into a linksys router and i also have a netbook connected to the same router via wlan,i have tried to down power everything down and then powering everything back up again to try and obtain a new ip number but everytime i do so it keeps giving me the same ip address.

But if i wire the modem directly into the pc it does give me a new ip number but that is no good if i want to do things on my netbook.
So i wondering if i got myself another router would i get a new ip number issued to me OR would the ip number that my current router gets be re-issued?

Or is there an easier way of getting my current router to obtain a new address? Any help would be gladly appreciated!
