Re: is it possible to change my ip?

no it has nothing to do with being blacklisted any where, the house i stay in is being used by a college who pay me £1000 a day to have their students stay here, at one point they where using my connection until the college installed their own so i would like to change the ip... i am guessing when i upgrade to 30/50mbit that will happen any way but i am not sure when i will.. also just to add if i was blacklisted all i would do is use the second internet connection the college installed that i have access to and could easily just use that and it uses a bt line that they installed 4 phone lines.. but i am good and follow rules in any forum/irc chan or anything i use online.

if so, its still the same, it is a router and modem combined, so the modem will register the mac address of the router, which you cant change.

If you have a desperate security issue and you need your IP changing, im sure you will probably be able to get tech support to do it, as long as you get through to someone who knows what their talking about.

What is the security reason?

i do have access to a modem (vm gave me but never took back) i can change it just so i can change ip.. but once i change back to the hub the ip will change back wont it?
