Change IP Address
-
How do I change my IP Address ? I have watched 3 videos on YouTube which Purport to describe this procedure. I have asked in the lounge. I have looked on the "Forum" sections which my ISP has. I have asked Google, Bing, and somebody else, I forget. So far, all answers have been wrong. What they tell me does not work. I welcome an answer that actually does work. Even more so if it works, oh, once a week or so.

Which IP address are you referring to; a local one within your private home network, or a public one assigned by your ISP?

I believe the answer is: The public one assigned by my ISP e.g., the address you get from sites such as IP Chicken[^]

You believe? It would help to be sure. However, if that is the one that is assigned by the ISP then there is no way to change it, as they are dynamically allocated. You can apply for a fixed address for which you probably have to pay a premium. This was already explained in response to the same qwuestion you posted in the Lounge.

Okay, I am sure. It's the one that shows up in IP Chicken[^] Okay, so, if the ISP assigns it, even though it is called "dynamic", it really isn't. True ?

It's called dynamic because it is changed frequently (e.g. every 24 hours).

As told - your external IP address assigned by your ISP, and it called dynamic, because it is not fixed...means it can be changed by the system of the ISP at any moment... In most cases turning off-on your router gives you a new IP, so it may work for you... (If it is critical for you, ask ISP...They own the IP range so may have a solution for you...)
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

No, it is dynamic in the sense that it is allocated automatically by the ISP's systems. And you, as their customer, have no control over it.

Bingo. Is it really so horrible for Joe Normal to want a different address each week ? Every day would be really nice. That used to be the way it worked. No clue why they make us all sitting ducks today.

A five day disconnection did not work. I have the same IP address I've had for, duh, three months, I'm guessing.
It is probably different there, than here... There is an other - more complicated - way...Changing the MAC address of your gateway (router)...Wouldn't do it if not extremely necessary...

Bounce your router. When it comes back, odds are your ISP will give you a different IP address. Cheers, Peter

New phrase for me. Never heard it before. Is this described somewhere, preferably with a video clip to help us clueless newbees ? Just asked Google and Bing how to bounce a router, and as usual, I didn't phrase my question properly.

Why would you? Changing your IP address on a weekly basis serves no purpose.

Ask urbandictionary[^] instead!
Bounce
To restart or recycle as in a server.
"The RPC service was down so I called the network guys and had them bounce the server."Warning: urbandictionary is 99% not KSS, and often NSFW. Cheers, Peter

Curious, could I purchase a second physical device, and connect it ? Would the second physical MAC address in the second physical device set off alarms and panic at my ISP ?
I do not know your ISP, but I have no problem whatsoever to connect more than one router on the same line...They share the bandwidth but all works...
