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.

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?)

thank you for the great tips, but wouldn't it better if i use proxy? with proxy, i think you can pretend you come from different countries and you can try out lot of things. there is a site release the new and working proxy on a daily basis.

nice guide.

What I usually do is change the ethernet to another port, since I have 2 ethernet cards on my PC

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.
