anyway what i am saying is. If you connected to the internet your isp will have assigned you an IP address automatically. If you reset your modem/router and reconnected you automatically get given a new IP adress. But somtimes with some ISP's you have to wait 5-10 minutes after resetting your modem/router before connecting back to the internet because in thier loggs it will have still got you down as using a certain IP. it will change once it realises its had no activity for 5-10 mintues of idle time where its not been pinged or any data hasnt been passed through. it gives you this 5-10 minutes just incase your connection had a little problem such as a disconnection so you can recconnect fast. But with most ISP's it will refresh thier loggs quite often and when it realises your connection has dropped and has been idle for longer than 5-10 seconds it will delete that ip and as soon as you connect again it re assigns you another one.

you only get new ip by resetting rother if you have dynamic ip
if you have static you cant change ip even with ip changing or hiding programs
