Is there a way I can change my IP?

[neonerd]

I know comcast auto cycles ip's sometimes, and it just randomely changes periodically, but is there a way i can change it on demaand? i hate my ip.....hard to remember, 😛

you can try releasing it then reqacuriing it

 

[rh71]

you can leave your machine (router) off (or cable unplugged for a few hours... or for a better chance, a day or two).

 

[neonerd]

thru ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew?

 

[WannaFly]

release the IP and leave your modem/router disconnected for the next 8 hours, a ACK package will never be recieved and you'll get a new IP MAYBE

Change the MAC address that the modem is connected to, meaning swap nics, hook the modem up to a different computer, or a different router, or change the router's MAC address.

btw, this won't let you choose your ip. you'll just get a random new one.

get a domain name and you don't need to remember your ip. you can get a free one from http://dyndns.org

Does this actually ever work ? Hasn't for me since WIN98.

Depending on one's choice of operating systems, could use this instead.
