Can we change our IP? How's Router works?

[pecel]

Hi,
I live in a dorm, but my college cap the bandwith if they found out people using the bandwith too much.
They will cap the bandwith for the next 24hours. 🙁
Is there any way I can change my IP?

Let's say everytime I reboot my comp or using IPCONFIG I got new IP.

I feel for you, but I would advise reading this link and then rethinking whether to ask this question.

Well, first, the nature of this post is "highly frowned upon" (circumventing bandwidth restrictions).

Second: it's not likely that changing your IP would matter: the cap is probably instituted at a port level of the switch you're attached to, or through an intermediate system. There are many things that the Network Admins can use to identify your system specifically.

Good Luck

Scott
