You can change your IP in a few ways, but they may not be viable to you.

1) Install/use a different network card
2) If you have a router, change the WAN MAC address from its config pages
3) Leave your modem off for a good 24 hours and hope someone else is allocated your IP, forcing you to get a new one
4) Swap from using USB to Ethernet (or vice-verca) on your modem

A quick call to ntl on 0800 0522000 is all thats needed for your free upgrade if you are having trouble upgrading online. They will upgrade you straight away on your request.

Formatting your PC won't solve question 2 (Connection refused).

Either:

1) You were banned
2) A firewall or other device is blocking your connection to IRC port 6667
