How to Change ip very easy.

ipconfig /release <- useless coz renew command release too ! lol
Most of time you will get the same IP...

if you have a static IP address it does not work

Restarting your router if you have a dynamic ip sometimes resets your IP as well. Not always though.

This wont ususally help you to bypass the ip ban, because Cabal requires that you have a European IP, and not another new if from the same provider. I live in U.S. so atm haven't found a right program to do this. Anyone has working suggestions, let me know.

Guys, I am a Network Administrator for a Internet Service Provider and most ISP's will do Dynamic IP's, statics are too hard to do when you have many customers because you have to assign a IP to every new customer with dynamic the DHCP server hands them out automatically and us Admins don't have to worry about it. Normally, when a server hands you a IP it gives you a lease time, this lease time can range from 5 hours to 7 days or more, whatever the admin decides. Normal time is between 3 to 7 days. So for those times if you release your ip and renew it you will get the same ip address all the time. The server looks at your MAC address of the device that is plugged into your modem (such as your router) the info for the lease holds your MAC of your router or computer so if you really want to get a new ip you would have to spoof your devices MAC or leave your device off at the time of the lease epiration, this will be tricky because you may not know when it is. All in all the only thing you can do is change your MAC and that should do the job. If it dosen't then you are probably set static and that can be good and bad but thats a different forum.

When I lived in the SF Bay Area, my IP address was a static IP address that never changed, my ISP was some cable company that eventually got bought by AT&T and then comcast. But I guess you're right, most things aren't like that now but I'm pretty sure that's how the broadband cable still operates there, and this is Silicon Valley we're talking about doing this sort of thing so don't think that Static IPs are gone.

I read the first page, so if anyone said this im sry:

Control Panel
Network Connections
Right click Your connection>Properties
Internet Protocall (TCP/IP)>Properties
Then choose to have a defined IP or w/e

This accomplishes the same thing as what the threadstarter said, and it works 100%
Only problem: Its basically useless.

yea. that's the problem :D

yahooligan, do you have to call in to your ISP if you get a new router? If not then I don't think you have a static you have whats called a reserved IP its like a static but is put in the ISP's DHCP server with your MAC so everytime you release and renew it keeps the same ip address everytime.

That might have been what it was doing. Either way, the IP address was always the same. Even if it's "simulated static" the problem is still there that you don't want to retain the same IP. But I don't live in that area anymore, I was just giving an example that there are ISPs that give you one IP address and that's all you get!

its not ipconfig/renew all its just ipconfig/renew
