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

With steps 11/17, which makes the ip you have from then?

Nice guide, I tried once to change it, and I was using this really complicated tutorial, and I took me so long, and I didn't even end up changing it, and I just tried using this and you're right it look me less than one minute

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! 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
