I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this so move it if you need to. Ok guys I know people often want to change their ip because they got banned from a game, server, etc... This is a guide on how to change it if your on cable. First off this method isnt 100% guaranteed to work the first time. But it DOES work and if if your ip does not change the first time you do it give it another try! It works for me and it worked the second time I did it.
What you need to do first is goto md-dos and type:
ipconfig /release_all
you will then see a list of gateways and stuff and it will all become 0.0.0.0
Now what you want to do is close that and turn the computer off.
After that unplug the power for your cable modem. You dont need to unplug the actual cable that recieved the connection and stuff. Just the power cord for the modem.
Now this is where patience comes in... leave your computer off and the modem for the night (overnight) or if your leaving for a long period of time (like 6+ hours) you can do this. I dont know if keeping it off longer gives you a better chance but I wouldnt think so because its all about luck
After your computer has been off the whole night (and the cable modem) plug the power back to the modem and turn the computer on. Go back to ms-dos and type:
ipconfig /renew_all
Go ahead and contine with your normal activited. If you dont know how to see what your ip is you can goto http://www.whatismyip.com/ and see... Write down the one you have and after doing this see if its changed. Mine totally changed.
Anyway thanks for reading. Feel free to ask questions if you want to and I'll do my best to answer them.
