How would I go about getting a new IP address?

Question

I have this site I go on to vote on different songs and stuff and it only lets you vote once. the site recognizes my ip address. im hooked to a router and not on a wireless network.. how would i keep changeing my ip address.... is there a way? a program perhaps?

Answer 1

Try unplugging your modem and plugging it back in.

Answer 2

Your ISP controls the lease, you really cant get a new ip address unless the isp gives you the new ip address...

The only way to cheat on that site is to use a proxy service.

Answer 3

You dont. The ipaddress that they track is given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and you are basically stuck with that ipaddress for a while. They might be leasing it to you for a week, a month, a year, who knows.!

Answer 4

no, with most broadband sevices you can't reset your IP... periodically it might change, but you can't unless you called your ISP and gave them a good excuse.

dialup services you might get a different one every time though.

Answer 5

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen

2. Click on "Run"

3. Type in "command" 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.[/B]

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

With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.

P.S:

This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address.
