Answer 1

You cant change your computers ip address, its dealt with your ISP

Answer 2

switch your router off and then back on again you'll likley have a dynamic ip so this will reset it.

Answer 3

all of the above are wrong as more than likley you will recive the same IP address again I work in IT :) there is no way to hide your ip address unfortunatly you can change it manually though but it would more than likely stop you from accessing internet pages. but on the upside the ip address have a lease time so within about a month or so your isp will more than likley dish you automatically another ip address out. good luck

Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes).

Answer 5

You can't hide your IP address, otherwise you wouldn't receive your IP packets!

Unless you are paying for a static IP address (unlikely) your Ip address wil be allocated to you by your ISP. Dialling in again (if on diallup) will probably give you a new IP; if on ADSL switch the modem off, wait 30 seconds then switch back on. http://www.whatismyip.com/ will tell you what your IP is.
