For those that didnt know how to change their dynamic IP addresses

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "cmd" and hit ok

You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.
15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address

how to change ip if you use a router?

will it even work with a router?

[Xblitzs]

it should work, if you have a Dynamic Ip Address

[Guo0]

dang, it doesn't work. still the same ip

[Santram]

i tried to test but it says needs elevation

[FemalesUnite]

so in theory you could get your own referrals but you would get banned if you log onto your account with a new ip adress

[krackhead]

whenever i type this "ipconfig /release" in i got this message "The requested operation requires elevation." wtf?

This would never work with a router - In an case I can think of... I would suggest not even touching something like this for a router as it is just gonna create ALOT of problems. Instead try logging into your router software (See the manual! Generally you need to go to IP of your router, the 'Default Gateway' which can be found when you type ipconfig in cmd, and put in a password)

Once/if you manage to get on.. you need to go to the DSL etc section or Connections section - Again see manual - I've found it's usually called Connection Status. From there you simply need to tell the router to disconnect and then reconnect. (This will kill you internet - As well as internet on all other computers on the network)

As soon as the router reconnects - congratz! You have a new IP (Provided your provider hasn't given you a static IP - Which you would have had to have asked for anyway..)

you are probably below sea level. try going to the rockies. it's higher over there.:biggrin:

[Dj Chang]

this is getting old

[GitnMeSumCash]

If it says it requires elevation then your running vista encountering some LUA prompts... turn that crap off - start - run - msconfig - tools (tab) - disable UAC

or just go start - search - CMD, let it locate it then right click and choose run as ADMIN
