1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok

You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.

15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
tongue.gif 18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address

With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.

P.S:
This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.

Very nice tuto, Mopargeek
I love the steps 1-2-3-4-5.
Usually I skip these steps when I have to change my IP address. However, these 1-2-3-4-5 steps are smart, because doing this you remove your IP address, so you start from a clean startpoint. Which is the most difficult part in a diagnosis work : starting from a clean startpoint avoids non-reproducible side-effects.

Here is the way that I change my IP when I need to:
1) start->run, regedit
2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
3) ctrl+f and type in part of the name of your ethernet card, for ex. broadcom
4) press f3 to traverse through the search results until you find your ethernet card settings depicted in the registry
5) right click in the white area on the right and create a new string value
6) type in some 12 digit value, and hit ok
7) disable/reenable your ethernet card via device manager or network connections to get a new IP

In step 11, you have to type an address with your hands, you type let's say 192.168.1.2 on the first PC, 192.168.1.3 on the second PC, etc..
In step 17, you ask the PC to obtain an address of the DHCP server installed by your Internet provider.

I never really thought you could change your IP address. I will try this next time I am banned from an IRC server.

Not sure this way will work. This will change only your internal address, inside your home network. This will not change the "real" IP address which is worldwide unique, and is assigned by your ISP, mainly by the settings of your Internet Proxy. So, the changes you will perform will only reflect the way you by yourself see your computer, it will not change your external address, like it can be displayed by showmyip.com, and as it is detected by your IRC server.
You know, cheating with IRC's is an old game, a lot of people spent a lot of time on this, and a lot of other people spent even more time preventing people do do this easily.
So, if you begin in this world, don't be suprized if several tricks you discover will not work properly.
By the way, here at astahost tutorials, you will see only standard legal features, which will not allow you doing forbiden or hidden things.

If you are a newbie on Ubuntu/Debian and need to change your IP:

Dinamic:
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

Static:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.xxx.xxx


Note: This is applicable for LAN: Local Area Network.

Blessings!

Thanks For Sharing This Tutorial! :blink: But This Only Gives You A Different Local IP Address. For Example You have The Local IP Address 192.168.0.111.

This Tutorial Will Probaly Change It From 192.168.0.*** (*** = Last 3 Digits You Want To Place In Your IP Address). Unless You Have A Static IP You Cannot Change Your IP That Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Provides For You! If You Want To Get A New IP You Would Probaly Have To Call And Explain Why. People Mostly Change Their IP That Their Internet Service Provider Gave You Because Of Hackers, Crackers etc. Some Internet Service Providers Change Your IP At The End Of Every Month. Which Means You Get 12 Different IP Addresses Each Year!

Once Again Thanks For Sharing This Nice Tutorial

In order to really answer your question, I need some more info's.
First of all, how did you get this static IP ? Is this the static IP your Internet provider gave to you ?
Secondly, how are you connected to the internet ? Is it at home, connected to an ADSL router ? Or is it at your office, conected to your office network ?
In both cases, this trick will probably not work for you.
Probably you are not connected directly to the internet, you are probably connected through an ADSL router. This ADSL router owns the fixed IP address, and your PC has another address, a private address like 192.168.1.12. If you use this tutorial to change this address to somithing like 192.168.1.22 (another addres on the same private network) this will work but your "external visible" address will remain the same, and you will still be banned. If you change your PC address to another one which is not on the same private network, your internet connexion will simply not work any more !
If you are dirrectly connected to the internet (no router) and if your fixed IP address has been given to you by your Internet provider, you have to use this fixed address. You cannot use this tutorial in order to change your IP address because you will use the address of somebody else, your Internet provider will be warned not to do that and he will simply disconnect your line and you will have no Internet any more until you find a good explanation.
So, unfortunately, in most of cases it's not easy to be un-banned, at least not possible with the present tutorials.

This tutorial explains standard things, for normal users. If you want to cheat in order to do illegal things (for instance if your IP has been banned from a site) the info's you want are on hacker's site. Unfortunately, surfing on hacker's site is rather dangerous, especially for your own PC !

Nice tutorial. Easy to remember. I didn't know you can change IP address with ipconfig. Only use this command to check my current IP. Normally would use the web-base home network software to change them. :blink:

Well this may work for some people...however if you are connected through a network LAN or if you have a static IP address, this isn't going to do anything for you...

when connected to an internal local area network you are going to just get a new local IP address, but not a new public one...so i guess if you are having problems with your IP locally then that might offer some help...

As for a static IP, this isn't going to make any difference for that, you'll either get an error or end up with the same IP address.

I'm getting a little rounded up here... why would you need to specify an IP address if you're using a DHCP? That alone should determine your local addresses...

as far as the access to external sites is concernced, I think you would be looking into proxies ->


also -> if you have a static ip address, you should run a nameserver



P.S. :> ipconfig /renew


should getcha a new ip address off your dhcp...

Ok I have DHCP enabled and my ISP says that I can't force an IP address in my system's network configuration.
I know that Java chat rooms are incompatible with proxy servers as instead of connecting to the actual site, they will connect to the proxy server, which obviously doesn't have the file.

Is there any way I can circumvent a Java chat room block? I'm not trying to go against DNS or proxies here, but this is just ridiculous.

OK, in your home network, usually, you have an ADSL modem or an ADSL switch or router.
Your PC, connected to the modem, has a private network address, usually something like 192.168.1.2
Your PC reaches the external world through a worldwide unique official IP address, something like 216.240.134.213.
This address is affected to you by your ISP.
Sometimes this address is fixed, sometimes it's given to you for a given period of time (typically 7 days). For instance, some ISP's give you a fixed address for free, some others change your IP address every week and ask you extra money if you want a fixed IP address.
This fixed IP is related to your physical position for accountings and maintenance purposes (in case of trouble they need to know on which phone line there is a problem, or where is the house which is not reachable). That's why they don't want to change these date, if they change something in your accounting data they need to inform absolutely everybody : the customer service people in case you call the hot line for declaring a problem, the phone company in order to tell them there is an internet connexion on this line and care should be given when unscrewing the cables, etc...
Thant's why you can use a fixed IP address if you want, but this fixed address is on your own network and is not visible from elsewhere.
The proxy is the device between you and the internet, it helps saying where you are and where to send the internet packets. So, the role of the proxy is essential. That's why the most simple thing is, when you install your PC, to install it as a DHCP client of your DHCP server (your router), which will provide all the necessary infos, like name-to-IP translations.
There is nothing really incompatible with a proxy server. Simply, some proxy servers are protected by firewalls. And some addresses are on the blacklist, by default, because they are known to be dangerous.
If you want to access a precise given Java chatroom and you cannot, first verify that your own PC has no problem (my Mc Afee advisor on my own PC doesn't like some sites and prevents myself from surfing on some sites) ; then ask your ISP to unlock the precise forum where you cannot go, they will be able to check why you cannot go to www.yorblog.something.
And, of course, trying to cheat on IP addresses is sometimes dangerous and sometimes stupid. Have a look at the IP address I just gave you some lines above the present one, suppose that you were able to configure this address on your PC, this IP address is the one of another computer somewhere on the world : your computer would be able to send queries to a website, and the answer would be shipped to the other computer, which would simply reject them as "this is not for me,sorry".
Hope this helped.

Keep in mind, however, that changing your IP can have negative consequences. Changing it to something random will almost never work. Also, this changes the local IP of your machine, not the Global one. If your computer is connected to a router, the rest of the world will still think you have the same IP as the router's IP will not have changed.

If you have a Dynamic IP Address, then you can easily change your IP address depending on your ISP. The 1st method listed will change your Global IP if you are not using a router. If you are using a router do this

1. Log into your router. Type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser

2.Look through the options, every router is different. Look for a "system" page or "status" page. It should have your IP address and should have an option to disconnect.

3. Click disconnect and wait 5-10 minutes

4. Click connect and your router will connect with your ISP, and with any luck you will be assigned a new IP address.

A couple comments:

1] The instructions above should work if you have a direct connection to the internet (no router). If you're using a router and want to change your publicly viewable (internet) ip address, do this: login to your router control panel and change your mac address (maybe increase the last digit by 1, that's enough). Then disconnect/reconnect using the router control panel. Now check your ip address again. If any problems, switch back to the previous mac.

2] People who need to frequently switch ip addresses can probably save a lot of time and headaches by using a software like the <a href="http://www.Iprivacytools.Com">ip changer</a> from iprivacytools.

Just my two cents.

Sadly, this does not work for users of routers, such as myself. But, for people using modems rather than routers, this will be a useful guide. For anyone who does have a router, there is, however, a simple way to change your ip address, which is turning of the router for 20-60 minutes, depending on how close you are to your telephone exchange. In my case, I'm in a small town several miles away from an exchange, so it takes me the full hour. I'm sure most people here will have it take less time though.

I have been changing my IP with different methods but this seems faster. I use Miles way of changing (because of my router). However for some reason my IP changes automatically every 10 days or so. It bugs me a bit because I can't be a server without fixing that problem first. I would get everything set up then in a few days my "dynamic" IP would change and my site would move. It isn't a big problem but sometimes it would be nice to host my own team speak or Ventrilo rather then using someone else's host.

Also: A little confused does the method explained in this topic change you output IP to whatever you want or is it random like it is normally. I don't know much about IP's other then they are four numbers from 1 to 255.

Thanks,
Sparkx

With your Internal IP Address (192 range) you can choose whatever you want effectively. If your Router/Modem has DHCP then your computer is assigned an IP when it connects to the Router/Modem. You can easily give the computer a static ip address (Internal). Windows is a little more complicated (you have to go to the control panel, the device properties and change the TCP/IP properties) whereas linux just enter the command posted before.

Changing your external IP address (The Real Address that websites identify you by) is harder because this is assigned by your ISP. If you have a dynamic address (as most people have) it can be hard. Normally, restarting my modem will get me a new ip address from my ISP. this process takes all of a few minutes to power down the modem and then let it power back up and get a new ip address. Most of the time I dont turn the modem off which means I keep the same IP all the time.

You can also use services like DynDNS (https://www.dyndns.com/) which won't keep your IP the same, but will give you a subdomain that you choose that links back to your ever changing IP. There software on your computer will update there database with a current IP and your subdomain will link back to your computer. I'm not sure if you can use this for TS or Ventrilo (do you need to have an IP or can it be an address?)

[note=yordan] Liam : you can only change your local IP address, inside your home network, which is useful if you have several computers in your house. Your international IP address, visible from outside, is given by your Internet provider, you cannot change it.

That's right, your international IP address appears as being the IP address of your proxy. However, reliable proxies are not so easy to find.
