Bubba Bob Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 What type of internet connection do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Naming is hard Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 SBC DSL, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martint Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Don't know about SBC, but...restart your modem, and if your IP doesnt change, then try to talk to your ISP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) Im guessing youre on XP, 2000 or NT:1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar. 2. Click Run... on this menu. 3. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'cmd' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears. A command prompt window appears on the screen. 4. Type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) to view the status of the computer's IP address(es). 5. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address. 6. Type 'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address (whether or not the computer is holding a current address). Edited August 22, 2005 by MistaMatt90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parrotgeek7 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Your external ip is assigned by your ISP. Unless you have some good, ducumentable reason for them to change it, they are going to tell you that all of their ips are dynamic and to wait a few days and it will change.Internally, you can assign yourself any ip you want that your router will accept and set it up as a static ip.Back to external, unless you go thru a proxy server, theres no real way to change your outside (WAN) ip.

Matt Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 when i typed in ipconfig /release it said No operation can be preformed on Local connection while it has its media disconnected<{POST_SNAPBACK}>hmm well that confirms you are using a static IP. The steps I provided will not work. You could leave your modem disconnected for a few days and see if your IP address changes, thats a trick I did once. But, you probably don't want to go that way.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Naming is hard Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 static IP? proxy, STEPS?!? >_< my head hurts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 static IP? proxy, STEPS?!? >_< my head hurts<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey Naming is hard. A static IP address is an IP address that is fixed and never changes. This is in contrast to a dynamic IP address which may change at any time.The option to choose a proxy, would act as a 'middle man' between you and what you are coneecting to. So, what you are connecting to will see the proxy's IP not yours.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parrotgeek7 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Staic IP = your ip address, either internally (LAN) or externally (WAN) is set and does not change. Internally, you simply reconfigure your network connection to automatically obtain an ip address from your router od DHCP server. (its about 3 mouse clicks in any windws OS) (Right click the NIC you use.>Properties>obtain ip automaticaly/obtain DNS automaticaly>save.)Proxy servers explained, tons of articles to read.Hope that helps some.
