If your ISP assigns your IP via DHCP, there's a lease time accompanying that IP. Meaning, for a certain amount of time, no matter what, your line will control that IP address.

Now, locally (if your router assigns IPs via DHCP to your local network) you can simply release the lease, and your router will look for the next IP to assign when you start the computer back up, or attempt to repair the connection. But, this won't change your public IP address at all.

If your router has an option to release the IP, this could work, but only if no-one else new to the network is assigned that IP in the time you have your router/modem off.

If not, when you power it back up, the DHCP server will simply give you the old IP again.

For the most part what you have said is true. As far as "releasing" the IP address goes, turning your modem on and off will have the same effect. It would be more like a Hard release/renew as compared to a soft one.

Ok Useful of changing you IP is that if you just got caught by somthing bannable, you can change your IP. If you want to see if it worked go to and remember that number

First step, go to your Router and look at the back of it, there should be a power button. Switch the button to off.


After you press the botton Wait 20 Minutes Then turn it back on and check


should be diffrent

Do not Flame up

ROFL! This isn't a guide this is common sense. Also, this doesn't reset your IP if you have DSL/Cable/etc. This is "Dial up Only". (There are a few exceptions. I know some people with dsl that can change their ip's this way)

Umm this only works if you have a dymanic IP so yeah........doesnt matter about your connection type. If you have a static IP no it does not work
