my ISP lets me change my ip at will, i have a modem and its ip is 80.X.X.X which is connected to my wifi station ip 207.X.X.X and then i have an ip of 192.68.X.X (network address). this is however a problem when trying to test my firewall because you have an external and an internal ip address internal being the 192.68.X.X and the exter 80.x.x.x most websites see me as 192.168.x.x but if a php script asks my browser fir an ip address, it gives it the middle ip 207.x.x.x
If you want to change your ip, you can buy a router. then you would have a 10.x.x.x .
There is however another way. although i am not sure if this works for your isp. You need to find your DNS servers (Domain Name System) write down their ip addresses. Afterwards you need to set your dns servers. Start -> Network Connections (or something like that) -> choose your internet connection right click it and select IP/TCP Protocol. If you dobbule click it a new window should open and you should put your dns servers ips in the two boxes at the bottom (were it says something like, Desired dns servers or something) then you should be ready to go

. Press ok, turn of your comptuer and when you connect to the internet you should get a differnet ip address. !!!THIS ONLY WORKS IF THE IP IN YOUR MODEM IS SET!!!
