albator Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I have a DSL modem using DHCP configuration to get a dynamic IP, the only way I know to change my ip is to turn off/on my dsl modem. Is there is a software solution to renew my IP ?
Synapse Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 if theres no router or anything, you can try the builtin ipconfig...ipconfig /renew
atomizer Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 you may have to use /release before /renew - not sure about that.
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 You do. Just doing /renew tells it to renew the current lease of the current IP. Even doing both may not work since the DHCP server remembers which MAC address last held that IP so in all likely hood you'll get the same IP again anyway. That is unless they have the lease period set really low. I have Road Runner and have had mine unhooked for several days before and still got the same IP address when I hooked everything back up.If you want to try it though you'll have to issue both commands:ipconfig /releaseipconfig /renew
suryad Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 The ipconfig changes the network ID not the Internet IP that other people will see...isnt it? I mean if you look at your computer on your network it will prob have a generic IP like 192.168.x.x but the IP provided from the ISP would be something different like 69.25.12.44 for an example right?
eyeball Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 spoof your mac address and then set it back to normal may work?

If he has his machine connected directly to the cable/DSL modem then he'll get the IP from the ISP.I do, however, recommend having a Cable/DSL router even if you only have one machine. It'll help keep the baddies out and is a better option than a software firewall.
suryad Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 albator I think my post above should answer your question...if indeed that is what you are looking for.
